I wanted to pass along an announcement about a project I've been putting together called SolrSharp <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSharp>. SolrSharp is a C# client API wrapper for interoperating with Solr<http://lucene.apache.org/solr/>, which is an operations framework for Lucene and a sister project in incubation to Lucene.Net. Solr provides a nice HTTP REST interface for querying and managing a search index. SolrSharp is an abstraction against the Solr HTTP interface.
This is not to take away from the efforts of everyone working on Lucene.Net, just an alternative way of using Lucene. As always seems the case, your specific requirements will dictate how you can make Lucene work for you, so your mileage may vary. Nonetheless, here's another approach to using Lucene from C#. The wiki link above includes a link to the source code if you wish to take a look. cheers and good code, jeff r.
