Introduction 

Lucene.Net is a source code, class-per-class, API-per-API and algorithmatic port of the Java Lucene search engine to the C# and .NET platform utilizing Microsoft .NET Framework. And this is a very simple asp.net example to show how you can call Lucene API. This example creates lucene index and makes a search on it. 

Background

It would be nice if you already used lucene before but there is no need to dig into that java world. this example stands for that.

Using the code

When you start using lucene you need to check is the Index exist or not this function will help you to cover that area. 

private void IsIndexExists(out bool created, string sIndexPath)
{
    created = false;
    if (!IndexReader.IndexExists(sIndexPath))
    {
        IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(sIndexPath,
            new StandardAnalyzer(), true);
        created = true;
        writer.Close();
    }
}
