Lucene.Net is a byte-to-byte port to .NET of Apache Lucene a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library written entirely in Java. See Apache Lucene web site for more information about Apache Lucene.
Lucene.Net is a source code, class-per-class, API-per-API and algorithmatic port of the Java Lucene Microsoft .NET Framework.
search engine to the C# and .NET platform utilizing
Lucene.Net is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
The incubation status is recorded at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/lucene.net.html
Lucene.Net sticks to the APIs and classes used in the original Java implementation of Lucene. The API names as well as class names are preserved with the intention of giving Lucene.Net the look and feel of the C# language and the .NET Framework. For example, the method Hits.length() in the Java implementation now reads Hits.Length() in the C# port.
In addition to the APIs and classes port to C#, the algorithm of Java Lucene is ported to C# Lucene. This means an index created with Java Lucene is back-and-forth compatible with the C# Lucene; both at reading, writing and updating. In fact a Lucene index can be concurrently searched and updated using Java Lucene and C# Lucene processes.
