Hi,
I'm a newbie to Lucene and heard that it helps in the information retrieval process. However, my problem is not really related to the information retrieval but to the comparison of two texts. I think Lucene may help resolving it.
I would like to have a clue on how to compare two given texts and finally say how much they are similar.
Has anyone had this kind of experience? I will be very grateful to hear your ideas and your recommendations.
Thanks before hand!
