Integrate Full Text search functionality in to your applications with Lucene (searching)

Part 2: Now Full text searching.

public List search(){
List searchResult = new ArrayList();
IndexSearcher indexSearcher = null;

a) Get Indexer
b) Build default query parser
( since it was demo. Accept all wild cards characters in your inputs.

It is pure fun see how Lucene is responsing to wild queries.)

c) Now search the indexes.
( we already built them in the earlier step)

Hits hits = indexer.search(query);

My conclusions are
Lucene is a Pure Java product that provides:
* ranked searching ; best results returned first{ i need to test more here}
* Good numbers of query types:
phrase queries, wildcard queries, proximity queries, range queries etc
* fielded searching (e.g., title, path, contents)
* date-range searching
* sorting by any field
* multiple-index searching ( I am working on this one right now)
* allows simultaneous update and searching
I am looking forward to C/C++ implementation.

I love c++ stuff because it fits in our product stack very nicely.

I am wring custom code to parse our source code (C,C++ & CORBA)

Soon i will update this blog with key code blocks.
