Lucene is a full-text search library completely written in Java. It adds the content to full-text index and then allows you to perform queries on this index, returning results ranked by either the relevance to the query or sorted by an arbitrary field such as a document’s last modified date.
Lucene index is inverted index, by design because it inverts a page-centric data structure (page->words) to a keyword-centric data structure (word->pages).
The Hibernate Search module works as a bridge between Hibernate ORM and full-text search engines such as Lucene or Elasticsearch. While performing a search, it enables us to work with JPA entities, and in the background, it transparently works with Lucene to provide a consistent experience. This Hibernate search guide will discuss the core concepts …
In Lucene, ByteBuffersDirectory is for pure in-memory access for demos, and MMapDirectory uses memory-mapped files stored in the filesystem.
In this Lucene 6 tutorial, we will learn to use RAMDirectory to run quick examples of POCs because it is not intended to work with huge indexes.
In Lucene, WildcardQuery can be used to execute wildcard based searches on lucene indexes. Learn to use WildcardQuery with example.
