SimpleLucene (.NET Wrapper for lucene text search engine)
If you’ve ever used lucene in a high volume production environment you can really get your self into trouble. Having worked through performance issues as well as the occasional corrupt indexes; I created a little helpsimpleluceneer library (including many nice contributions from Tim Schmidt) that makes using Lucene.net very easy.
The attached zip file includes the source code. You will need to also pull down lucene.net as well as Castle Project. There’s also a class called SampleLuceneSearchService.cs which shows how easy it is to use. Hopefully this helps others avoid performance and stability problems and makes lucene.net adoption a snap.
