Lucene.NET is a file-based indexing engine written in C#. What does that mean to you? It means you can dramatically reduce round trips from your front end Web server to your backend services or database. So what does that really mean? You'll have a fast Web site. You can configure Lucene to crawl through your data and index it all locally on your servers. You can then quickly search using Linq to return data to your application. In this session, you'll learn about Lucene and how to implement it in your applications.

You will learn:

• What Lucene is and why you should use it
• The basics on how to install, configure, and query Lucene
• Advanced features of Lucene
