4.3 Searching Your Data Using Lucene.Net
Data is everywhere, whether it’s on the Internet, your local system, or networked hard drives. The challenge often isn’t in collecting and organizing your data but in finding it. Businesses collect data in a staggering array of formats, including Microsoft Outlook or Excel files, Access or SQL databases, PDFs, HTML files, plain old text files, and perhaps even custom application formats. That data often then gets scattered across a dizzying number of locations on different servers.
Chances are that your customers will need to deal with disparate data formats and with data stored in multiple locations. Furthermore, they will probably want to be able to exert some control over how searches are performed. Customers may want to be able to limit searches to certain keywords or to a particular set of data folders on a particular server, or to filter out information older than a particular date.
Google Desktop has made a splash by bringing this functionality to end users. Now you have the power to bring the same indexing and searching capabilities into your applications using Lucene.Net, a high-performance, scalable search engine library written in the C# language and utilizing the .NET Framework.
