Solr might be more along the lines of what you are looking for (packaged search solution) but I don't know that there is a .NET port.
In any event, creating a service using Lucene is trivial. I can send you some C# examples if you like.

Numerous IDE tools in Windows environment provide a possibility to create a Windows Service starting from Delphi ( COM interop is required ) and probably the most natural choice would be C# and Visual Studio. It is up to you how to organize calls to Lucene inside your Windows Service. You may use RemoteSearchable or Distributed in your Windows Service , but there is no direct relation to my knowledge.

Can anyone offer any guidance or "quick start" tips toward getting configuring lucene to run as service, as well as how to make calls to it (what is the interface protocol)? I see there is a Lucene.Net.Search.RemoteSearchable.config in the project, and I also see these projects in the /contrib/ directory: Lucene.Net.Distributed/ <file:///F:\projects.net\lucene.net\Lucene.Net.Distributed\> <file:///F:/projects.net/lucene.net/Lucene.Net.Distributed/> LuceneMonitorSetup/ <file:///F:\projects.net\lucene.net\LuceneMonitorSetup\> <file:///F:/projects.net/lucene.net/LuceneMonitorSetup/> but I have no idea how to configure them or how to use them in a windows service solution. -- ====================================== Douglas M.
