Lucene University

Self-contained Lucene examples This repository contains some examples of Apache Lucene features with verbose explanations as code comments written in Markdown. The goal is to provide code samples that can be used a few ways: Read the source code. The comments should make what's going on pretty clear. Open a code sample in your IDE and step through it with a debugger. Follow along with the comments as you go. Make changes to the code and see what happens. (Some examples include suggested changes.) Read the code and documentation as a web page generated with Docco over at https://msfroh.github.io/lucene-university/docs/SimpleSearch.html. (Go to the "Jump to..." box in the top-right to load other examples.) This should feel kind of like reading a book. Getting started This repository currently depends on Lucene 10, which requires JDK 21 or higher. You can clone the repository and build the examples with: git clone https://github.com/msfroh/lucene-university.git cd lucene-university ... Read full article.
