Thanks Simon.

So, just to be clear, there are no usable branches of Lucene.NET post 3.0.x? I 
was assuming there was something usable because of this post: 
http://stackoverflow.com/a/24897255/1228288, wherein Peter Bailey says be has 
used a later build to avoid the spurious exceptions I mentioned in point #1.

Assuming there is nothing post 3.0.x I can use, my recourse here will be to 
simply use the project as is and debug it to try to determine why I’m getting 
the second issue. I can live with the first-chance exceptions, but the second 
issue is a blocker.

FWIW, the changes I needed to make to the core project to get it to build for 
iOS were all to do with AppSettings, because ConfigurationManager simply 
doesn’t exist. Consequently, there are some knock-on changes to Contants.cs and 
StringHelper.cs. One other thing I had to do when I was using that project was 
to manually add the snowball analyzer in, since it was omitted.

Cheers,
Kent
