Are you asking how to implement that ? I would do the following : tracking new file creations and deletions and incremental indexing may be complicated, so scan recursively all files ( perhaps scheduled task ) and rebuild index from scratch . Intercept each letter type in your textbox and run Lucene query ( you need to do some studies how to run wildcard queries , "Lucene in Action" MEAP second edition or Internet may be more appropriate than buying original 2005 "Lucene in Action" printed book ) . It may be more complicated and slower to run multiple word wildcards in case if it is multi-word filename ( *word1_fragment_ends_with AND word2_fragment_starts_with* ) I never tried or measured a performance . But if you put a constraint to do incremental search for a single word only ( *containts_this_word_fragment* ) it should be straightforward.
