I am new to lucene, and reading lucene in action book
sometimes, i better understand when somone tell me an answer than a book.
my queston is
when indexing, what actually lucene is doing?
if i have a file called test.txt  with contents " lucen is used to
index files" and i apply lucene indexing, what is the content of the
index and  what is the structure of the index?.

and if i apply lucene search, for example a query "index files", from
where lucene searches, from the index or from the test.index file


If you're interested in the structure of the Lucene index, the best resource is here: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/fileformats.html (for the current release)

It lays out the structure in great detail, skim it over a bit, it will greatly help in understanding how Lucene works.
