How does Lucene search work?
Hello, Lucene gurus:
I am reading lucene source code to understand how search is processed
and how documents are ranked. The indexing part is relatively easy
because the index format is well-document. However, the searching part
is difficult to me. I don't understand how different Query classes,
Scorer classes and IndexReader class work together to filter and rank
documents. I found little document on this.
Could somebody give me some hints and pointers? Thanks a lot!
Roy

The javadocs have been improved somewhat recently, so
in case you are not using the most recent java code, get it from cvs head,
build the javadocs-internal target, and use the resulting javadocs.
These javadocs are still incomplete, don't hesitate to add/correct
via bugzilla.
