How to build a quick Lucene Search

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Helo – today I wanted to post a small tutorial for a small index and search operation using the Lucene indexer and Maven for the project setup.

Setup

Create an empty Maven sample project using the Eclipse Maven Plugin or use the following console command:
```
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.hascode.demo.search -DartifactId=lucene-sample
```

Here is my pom.xml there are some dependencies for Lucene defined:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.hascode.demo.search</groupId>
  <artifactId>lucene-sample</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>My Lucene Search Sample</name>
