# Apache Lucene README file
## Introduction
Lucene is a Java full-text search engine. Lucene is not a complete
application, but rather a code library and API that can easily be used
to add search capabilities to applications.
* The Lucene web site is at: http://lucene.apache.org/
* Please join the Lucene-User mailing list by sending a message to:

## Files in a binary distribution
Files are organized by module, for example in core/:
* `core/lucene-core-XX.jar`:
The compiled core Lucene library.
