> what Lucene is good and supposed to be used and for what it is not good and not supposed to be used?
I guess it is a too broad question to answer. If you need comprehensive information, see the official site and documentation: http://lucene.apache.org/core/ http://lucene.apache.org/core/7_4_0/index.html As far as questions in your previous posts, Lucene is (originally) a full-text search engine, not a regex engine. If you need regex engine, you should seek right tools for the task.
