| # Apache Lucy recipes |
| |
| The Cookbook provides thematic documentation covering some of Apache Lucy's |
| more sophisticated features. For a step-by-step introduction to Lucy, |
| see [](cfish:Tutorial). |
| |
| ## Chapters |
| |
| * [](cfish:FastUpdates) - While index updates are fast on |
| average, worst-case update performance may be significantly slower. To make |
| index updates consistently quick, we must manually intervene to control the |
| process of index segment consolidation. |
| |
| * [](cfish:CustomQuery) - Explore Lucy's support for |
| custom query types by creating a "PrefixQuery" class to handle trailing |
| wildcards. |
| |
| * [](cfish:CustomQueryParser) - Define your own custom |
| search query syntax using [](cfish:lucy.QueryParser) and |
| Parse::RecDescent. |
| |
