| <p>Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library. |
| Here's a simple example how to use Lucene for indexing and searching (using JUnit |
| to check if the results are what we expect):</p> |
| |
| <!-- code comes from org.apache.lucene.TestDemo: --> |

| <pre class="prettyprint"> |
| Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(Version.LUCENE_CURRENT); |
| |
| // Store the index in memory: |
| Directory directory = new RAMDirectory(); |
| // To store an index on disk, use this instead: |
| //Directory directory = FSDirectory.open("/tmp/testindex"); |
| IndexWriter iwriter = new IndexWriter(directory, analyzer, true, |
| new IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength(25000)); |
| Document doc = new Document(); |
| String text = "This is the text to be indexed."; |
| doc.add(new Field("fieldname", text, Field.Store.YES, |
| Field.Index.ANALYZED)); |
| iwriter.addDocument(doc); |
| iwriter.close(); |
| |
| // Now search the index: |
| IndexSearcher isearcher = new IndexSearcher(directory, true); // read-only=true |
| // Parse a simple query that searches for "text": |
| QueryParser parser = new QueryParser("fieldname", analyzer); |
| Query query = parser.parse("text"); |
| ScoreDoc[] hits = isearcher.search(query, null, 1000).scoreDocs; |
| assertEquals(1, hits.length); |
| // Iterate through the results: |

| Document hitDoc = isearcher.doc(hits[i].doc); |
| assertEquals("This is the text to be indexed.", hitDoc.get("fieldname")); |
| } |
| isearcher.close(); |

| <p>The Lucene API is divided into several packages:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.analysis</a></b> |
| defines an abstract <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/Analyzer.html">Analyzer</a> |
| API for converting text from a <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/io/Reader.html">java.io.Reader</a> |
| into a <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/TokenStream.html">TokenStream</a>, |
| an enumeration of token <a href="org/apache/lucene/util/Attribute.html">Attribute</a>s. |
| A TokenStream can be composed by applying <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/TokenFilter.html">TokenFilter</a>s |
| to the output of a <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/Tokenizer.html">Tokenizer</a>. |
| Tokenizers and TokenFilters are strung together and applied with an <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/Analyzer.html">Analyzer</a>. |
| A handful of Analyzer implementations are provided, including <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/StopAnalyzer.html">StopAnalyzer</a> |
| and the grammar-based <a href="org/apache/lucene/analysis/standard/StandardAnalyzer.html">StandardAnalyzer</a>.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/document/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.document</a></b> |
| provides a simple <a href="org/apache/lucene/document/Document.html">Document</a> |
| class. A Document is simply a set of named <a href="org/apache/lucene/document/Field.html">Field</a>s, |
| whose values may be strings or instances of <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/io/Reader.html">java.io.Reader</a>.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/index/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.index</a></b> |
| provides two primary classes: <a href="org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html">IndexWriter</a>, |
| which creates and adds documents to indices; and <a href="org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.html">IndexReader</a>, |
| which accesses the data in the index.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/search/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.search</a></b> |
| provides data structures to represent queries (ie <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/TermQuery.html">TermQuery</a> |
| for individual words, <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/PhraseQuery.html">PhraseQuery</a> |
| for phrases, and <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/BooleanQuery.html">BooleanQuery</a> |
| for boolean combinations of queries) and the abstract <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/Searcher.html">Searcher</a> |
| which turns queries into <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/TopDocs.html">TopDocs</a>. |
| <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/IndexSearcher.html">IndexSearcher</a> |
| implements search over a single IndexReader.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/queryParser/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.queryParser</a></b> |
| uses <a href="http://javacc.dev.java.net">JavaCC</a> to implement a |
| <a href="org/apache/lucene/queryParser/QueryParser.html">QueryParser</a>.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/store/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.store</a></b> |
| defines an abstract class for storing persistent data, the <a href="org/apache/lucene/store/Directory.html">Directory</a>, |
| which is a collection of named files written by an <a href="org/apache/lucene/store/IndexOutput.html">IndexOutput</a> |
| and read by an <a href="org/apache/lucene/store/IndexInput.html">IndexInput</a>. |
| Multiple implementations are provided, including <a href="org/apache/lucene/store/FSDirectory.html">FSDirectory</a>, |
| which uses a file system directory to store files, and <a href="org/apache/lucene/store/RAMDirectory.html">RAMDirectory</a> |
| which implements files as memory-resident data structures.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b><a href="org/apache/lucene/util/package-summary.html">org.apache.lucene.util</a></b> |
| contains a few handy data structures and util classes, ie <a href="org/apache/lucene/util/BitVector.html">BitVector</a> |
| and <a href="org/apache/lucene/util/PriorityQueue.html">PriorityQueue</a>.</li> |
| </ul> |
| To use Lucene, an application should: |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Create <a href="org/apache/lucene/document/Document.html">Document</a>s by |
| adding |
| <a href="org/apache/lucene/document/Field.html">Field</a>s;</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Create an <a href="org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html">IndexWriter</a> |
| and add documents to it with <a href="org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html#addDocument(org.apache.lucene.document.Document)">addDocument()</a>;</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Call <a href="org/apache/lucene/queryParser/QueryParser.html#parse(java.lang.String)">QueryParser.parse()</a> |
| to build a query from a string; and</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Create an <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/IndexSearcher.html">IndexSearcher</a> |
| and pass the query to its <a href="org/apache/lucene/search/Searcher.html#search(org.apache.lucene.search.Query)">search()</a> |
| method.</li> |
| </ol> |
| Some simple examples of code which does this are: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/contrib/demo/src/java/org/apache/lucene/demo/IndexFiles.java">IndexFiles.java</a> creates an |
| index for all the files contained in a directory.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/demo/src/java/org/apache/lucene/demo/SearchFiles.java">SearchFiles.java</a> prompts for |
| queries and searches an index.</li> |
| </ul> |
| To demonstrate these, try something like: |
| <blockquote><tt>> <b>java -cp lucene.jar:lucene-demo.jar:lucene-analyzers-common.jar org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles rec.food.recipes/soups</b></tt> |
| <br><tt>adding rec.food.recipes/soups/abalone-chowder</tt> |
| <br><tt> </tt>[ ... ] |
| |
| <p><tt>> <b>java -cp lucene.jar:lucene-demo.jar:lucene-analyzers-common.jar org.apache.lucene.demo.SearchFiles</b></tt> |
| <br><tt>Query: <b>chowder</b></tt> |
| <br><tt>Searching for: chowder</tt> |
| <br><tt>34 total matching documents</tt> |
| <br><tt>1. rec.food.recipes/soups/spam-chowder</tt> |
| <br><tt> </tt>[ ... thirty-four documents contain the word "chowder" ... ] |
| |
| <p><tt>Query: <b>"clam chowder" AND Manhattan</b></tt> |
| <br><tt>Searching for: +"clam chowder" +manhattan</tt> |
| <br><tt>2 total matching documents</tt> |
| <br><tt>1. rec.food.recipes/soups/clam-chowder</tt> |
| <br><tt> </tt>[ ... two documents contain the phrase "clam chowder" |
| and the word "manhattan" ... ] |
| <br> [ Note: "+" and "-" are canonical, but "AND", "OR" |
| and "NOT" may be used. ]</blockquote> |
