Well, now you have. It’s basiclly a big library which have all the necessary technology for high-performance search engine. Lucene is focused on text indexing and searching.

In my master thesis which I’m currently working on, I’ve created a prototype software which’s main goal is to build different kinds of indexes and perform a hugh number of searches on them. What I’m then doing is to collect numbers such as the time it takes to construct the indexes, the disk space needed, the time to perform a huge chunk of queries on each index, and more. With this information I will then analyze and discuss the results in light of phrase searching, which is my master thesis main goal. My master thesis is concerned with how to enhance phrase searching in text indexes, and this is what I will discuss using the numbers extracted from my experiments.

So, if you would like to learn more regarding search technology I would recommend you to have a look at Apache Lucene.
