Summary

So far we’ve met the Index class. This class is just a convenient, easy-to-use interface to the rest of the Ferret API. It does most of the hard work for you, such as parsing queries and keeping track of the IndexReader and IndexWriter classes behind the scenes, or knowing when to commit the index so that your search is always on the latest version of the index. There is a lot more that you can do with the Index class, and in most cases it will be all you need. But if you really want to take full advantage of all Ferret has to offer, you’ll need to find out what is going on behind the scenes. In Chapter 2, we’ll learn more about how indexing actually works and how to configure the index for your application.
