+
+Lucene offers powerful features through a simple API:
+
+## Scalable, High-Performance Indexing
+
+* over [150GB/hour on modern hardware](http://home.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/indexing.html)
+* small RAM requirements -- only 1MB heap
+* incremental indexing as fast as batch indexing
+* index size roughly 20-30% the size of text indexed
+
+## Powerful, Accurate and Efficient Search Algorithms
+
+* ranked searching -- best results returned first
+* many powerful query types: phrase queries, wildcard queries, proximity queries, range queries and more
+* fielded searching (e.g. title, author, contents)
+* sorting by any field
+* multiple-index searching with merged results
+* allows simultaneous update and searching
+* flexible faceting, highlighting, joins and result grouping
+* fast, memory-efficient and typo-tolerant suggesters
+* pluggable ranking models, including the [Vector Space Model](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_Space_Model) and [Okapi BM25](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25)
+* configurable storage engine (codecs)
+
+## Cross-Platform Solution
+
+* Available as Open Source software under the [Apache License](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html) which lets you use Lucene in both commercial and Open Source programs
+* 100%-pure Java
+* Implementations in [other programming languages available](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/lucene/LuceneImplementations) that are index-compatible
