Hi guys, Thanks for the comments but I've been following Lucene.net a number of years now and bought Lucene in Action as a guide as I couldn't find examples then. It's but to a non Java and non c# person it's really heavy going and it's just simple things like include files which stops the take-up. I was just wondering if there were any pre made examples out there on the internet.
If not I'd be happy to put some together if I could get my head around it, I do actually use Lucene.net on one of my web sites but when it comes to integrating things like snowball.net I was at a loss so gave up. I just feel that helping out the development community as much as possible with guidance and tutorials (step by step) would increase take-up dramatically.

The book is Java based, but as Ben pointed out, not only are the API's 1-to-1 ported, the entire logic is too. Also, the test code is a good place to start if you are looking for examples of how to use a specific feature. -- George -----Original Message----- From: Ben Martz [mailto:benma...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 3:27 AM To: lucene-net-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Graduation Definitely not the right thread for this - I'd recommend starting a new thread next time please. That being said, If you're comfortable with C#, you'll notice that one of the great things about the Lucene.Net project is that it's a API-level port so pretty much all of the java examples will run as-is with minor modifications to the syntax and of course the proper casing of method names. I know it may seem a little overwhelming at first but give it a try and you might be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to get up and running. -- Ben On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 10:23 PM, Ed Jones <edmund.jo...@warc.com> wrote: > I know this isn't the best place to post this question but I don't know > where is. > > In the past the main reason I've not used Lucene.net in projects is that I > can find very few examples or tutorials on how to use it, write a crawler on > use the various components.
