Jack Herrington, author of the fabulous , was the first to review Lucene in Action for Amazon. This is what he had to say:
This is a solid, well-written, introduction to Lucene and related technologies. The book starts with an introduction to the architecture of Lucene, replete with a simple sample application, then goes into an in-depth review of the indexing, searching and querying. XML and HTML indexing are also covered. As are performance issues. The last chapter covers related technologies and other implementations of Lucene into other languages. This is the best book I have seen on Lucene. It's an informative, fun read, that is worth the money if Lucene is central to your application.Thanks Jack!
