Hi everyone.
I have now rewritten some items in the source code of my master thesis, in addition to write some javadoc to make it more comprehensible. So, I will now publish the whole code - a lot later than initial planned though. I’m not however totally satisfied with the final code, since it may give the impression that it is a “run-and-play” code, which it is not. Also, I would recommend reading my master thesis, as a lot of the concepts in the source code is in much more extent defined there.
I would also like to emphasize that the important thing in the source code is the DocumentAnalyzer.java#PhraseFilter3, which is responsible for manipulating the Lucene index into promoting phrase searching capabilities, as discussed in my master thesis.
The code is available in both tar.gz and zip compression:

Since my master thesis is now delivered, I will dedicate some time to clean up the code and thoroughly document it. When I’m finished and the code is clean, I will make it freely available to the Apache Lucene community.
I will also make my master thesis freely available for download, so documentation regarding the code is somewhat covered by the thesis. Also, the abstract goals for the code (since the code reflects the experiment) is outlined in the thesis, in addition to a presentation regarding the results and observations made.
Since I’m a huge fan of Python, I also thought of experiment with the performance of python and my bigram index. I would love to further enhance and maybe introduce some new improvements and such.. In time, I will create a project page for the “Bigram index” beneath my future django/turbogears website http://asbjorn.fellinghaug.com/

Woho!
I’ve finally completed and delivered my master thesis. At exactly kl.23.54 yesterday (Sunday 8.June 2008), I delivered my master thesis to my faculty delivery system, also know as DAIM. It was a huge relief.. 
In a short time, I will provide the PDF here, as well as code and such.

Woho, deadline for master rapporten (også kjent som “Diplomen”) nærmer seg med stormskritt. Litt i overkant av en måned igjen til deadline (1.Juni). Blir en voldsom mengde espresso og sene kvelder fremover, da det bestandig er ting man bare må forandre på.
For alle andre som skal eller driver på å skriver diplomen sin, så vil jeg bare ønske dere lykke til. Det kan i begynnelsen virke som en ubestridelig stor oppgave, men såfremt man tar det et steg av gangen så er det faktisk lys i enden av tunnelen.
En annen ting: Kreativiteten for alt annet enn selve master oppgaven vokser med ca 80%!
