1.0.0
Apache Lucene.NET is an open-source full-text search library written in C#. It is a port of the popular Java Apache Lucene project.
Apache Lucene.NET is a .NET library providing powerful indexing and search features, as well as spellchecking, hit highlighting and advanced analysis/tokenization capabilities.
Lucene.NET version 4.8 (still in Beta) runs everywhere .NET runs, including Windows, Unix, MacOS, Android and iOS.
The Apache Lucene.NET website is at: http://lucenenet.apache.org
Latest Release Version: Lucene.NET 3.0.3
Working toward Lucene.NET 4.8.0 (currently in BETA)
PM> Install-Package Lucene.Net
PM> Install-Package Lucene.Net -Pre
We have preliminary documentation for Lucene.NET 4.8.0 on the Lucene.NET Website.
The API is similar to Java Lucene 4.8.0, which you may also find helpful to review.
NOTE: We are working on fixing issues with the documentation, but could use more help since it is a massive project. See #206.
There are several demos implemented as simple console applications that can be copied and pasted into Visual Studio or compiled on the command line in the Lucene.Net.Demo project.
There is also a dotnet command line tool available on NuGet. It contains all of the demos as well as tools maintaining your Lucene.NET index, featuring operations such as splitting, merging, listing segment info, fixing, deleting segments, upgrading, etc. Always be sure to back up your index before running any commands against it!
dotnet tool install lucene-cli -g --version 4.8.0-beta00015
NOTE: The version of the CLI you install should match the version of Lucene.NET you use.
Once installed, you can explore the commands and options that are available by entering the command lucene.

Please do not submit general how-to questions to GitHub, use GitHub for bug reports and tasks only.
To report a bug, please use the GitHub issue tracker.
NOTE: In the past, the Lucene.NET project used the JIRA issue tracker, which has now been deprecated. However, we are keeping it active for tracking legacy issues. Please submit any new issues to GitHub.
To start a development discussion regarding the technical features of Lucene.NET, please email the dev mailing list by sending an email to [email protected] and then follow the instructions to verify your email address. Note that you only need to subscribe once.

Before you start working on a pull request, please read our Contributing guide.
NOTE: If the project is open in Visual Studio, its background restore may interfere with these commands. It is recommended to close all instances of Visual Studio that have
Lucene.Net.slnopen before executing.
To build the source, clone or download and unzip the repository. For specific releases, download and unzip the .src.zip file from the download page of the specific version. From the repository or distribution root, execute the build command from a command prompt and include the desired options from the build options table below:
> build [options]
./build [options]
NOTE: The
buildfile will need to be given permission to run using the commandchmod u+x buildbefore the first execution.
The following options are case-insensitive. Each option has both a short form indicated by a single - and a long-form indicated by --. The options that require a value must be followed by a space and then the value, similar to running the dotnet CLI.
| Short | Long | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| ‑config | ‑‑configuration | The build configuration ("Release" or "Debug"). | build ‑‑configuration Debug |
| ‑mp | ‑‑maximum-parallel-jobs | The maximum number of parallel jobs to run during testing. If not supplied, the default is 8. | build ‑t ‑mp 10 |
| ‑pv | ‑‑package-version | The NuGet package version. If not supplied, will use the version from the Version.proj file. | build ‑pv 4.8.0‑beta00001 |
| ‑t | ‑‑test | Runs the tests after building. This option does not require a value. Note that testing typically takes around 40 minutes with 8 parallel jobs. | build ‑t |
| ‑fv | ‑‑file-version | The assembly file version. If not supplied, defaults to the --package-version value (excluding any pre-release label). The assembly version will be derived from the major version component of the passed in value, excluding the minor, build and revision components. | build ‑pv 4.8.0‑beta00001 ‑fv 4.8.0 |
For example, the following command creates a Release build with NuGet package version 4.8.0‑ci00015 and file version 4.8.0. The assembly version will be derived from the major version component of the passed in value, excluding the minor, build and revision components (in this case 4.0.0).
> build ‑‑configuration Release ‑pv 4.8.0‑ci00015 ‑fv 4.8.0
./build ‑‑configuration Release ‑pv 4.8.0‑ci00015 ‑fv 4.8.0
In the above example, we are using "ci" in the package version to indicate this is not a publicly released beta version but rather the output of a continuous integration build from master which occurred after beta00014 but before beta00015 was released.
NuGet packages are output by the build to the /_artifacts/NuGetPackages/ directory. Test results (if applicable) are output to the /_artifacts/TestResults/ directory.
You can setup Visual Studio to read the NuGet packages like any NuGet feed by following these steps:
+ icon (for add)Lucene.Net Local Packages
... button next to the Source field, and choose the /src/_artifacts/NuGetPackages folder on your local system.Then all you need to do is choose the Lucene.Net Local Packages feed from the dropdown (in the NuGet Package Manager) and you can search for, install, and update the NuGet packages just as you can with any Internet-based feed.
Lucene.Net.sln in Visual Studio..build/TestTargetFramework.props and uncommenting the corresponding <TargetFramework> (and commenting all others).NOTE: When running tests in Visual Studio, be sure to set the default processor architecture to 64 bit to avoid running out of virtual memory on some tests.
We have setup our azure-pipelines.yml file with logical defaults so anyone with an Azure DevOps account can build Lucene.NET and run the tests with minimal effort. Even a free Azure DevOps account will work, but tests will run much faster if the account is setup as public, which enables up to 10 parallel jobs to run simultaneously.
azure-pipelines.yml. There is documentation near the top of the file indicating the variables that can be setup to enable additional options, but note that the default configuration will automatically run the build and all of the tests.Note that after the build is complete, the nuget artifact contains .nupkg files which may be downloaded to your local machine where you can setup a local folder to act as a NuGet feed.
It is also possible to add an Azure DevOps feed id to a new variable named
ArtifactFeedID, but we are getting mixed results due to permission issues.
