NAME

Lucy::Docs::Cookbook - Apache Lucy recipes

DESCRIPTION

The Cookbook provides thematic documentation covering some of Apache Lucy’s more sophisticated features. For a step-by-step introduction to Lucy, see Tutorial.

Chapters

• FastUpdates - While index updates are fast on average, worst-case update performance may be significantly slower. To make index updates consistently quick, we must manually intervene to control the process of index segment consolidation.
• CustomQuery - Explore Lucy’s support for custom query types by creating a “PrefixQuery” class to handle trailing wildcards.
• CustomQueryParser - Define your own custom search query syntax using QueryParser and Parse::RecDescent.
