Hi, You guys probably get this a lot, but I was wondering (approximately) how it takes you guys to move closer to the Java-Lucene version(s). I am using ikvm at the moment, which works really well. For all the obvious reasons I would like to migate to using the .NET version(s).
I am currently using the FSTLookup class which is in org.apache.lucene.search.suggest. It is a great way to get a list of suggestions based on what a user has typed using the terms in the index. It works way better than doing a fuzzy search to obtain suggestions, as it's a lot faster. Unforunately it's a recent addition (Version 3.3.0) When you decide to update the source to the latest lucene version how long does that process typically take? I really like the fact that Lucene.NET is a line by line port of the java code. Hopefully this means it will catch up soon. I am really looking forward to dropping ikvm, though I am constantly amazed by how well it does work. I thought I would also mention this link. If the lucene.net users have not read this article before it really is a great read. Version 4.0 is going to be the bomb! http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2011/03/lucenes-fuzzyquery-is-100-times-faster.html Cheers Craig.
