So will the .NET port in functionality terms offer equivalent capacities as that of Java. Are there any crucial features which are missing and have not yet been implemented in Lucene.net (considering the fact that lucene java is gonna hit 2.0 soon and lucene.net is still in dev phase in 1.9) Is there any advantage in term of speed ( when you look at the .NET port) Are there any benchmark comparisons available Rgds Prabhu On 5/10/06, Monsur Hossain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > As Otis mentioned we are using Lucene.NET (the recent 1.9 build) and we > are > quite happy with it.
