RE: New user question

Re-sending it to the correct mailing list address since it got bounced
when sent to 'lucene-net-user@lucene.apache.org' (someone should update
"http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/" for the correct mailing list
email address!)

One more question: Are there any users of Lucene.NET (not the Java
Lucene, but the .NET version)?  The examples I've seen so far have been
using the Java version.

We're still running a home grown system, where the crawler fills a database. We're using Lucene to index this database. However, the crawler needs updating to be able to deal with more complex (javascript) sites.

This is what I ecently came across:
http://www.skycoder.com/downloads/
Very well documented classes & examples.

Also, to deal with the difficulties that Javascript sites can impose, this seems interesting:

I set up my lucene.net to provide site searches on almost a dozen
websites. I built a single resource that provides searches as a
webservice I simply pass it the index name and the search terms, etc.
when I call it from the individual sites and the page of results is
returned as XML. It has worked like a charm and been very easy for me to
extend and maintain.

My only problem has been in finding a decent crawler.  So far the best I
have found is the perl based one provided with the swish-e package but I
have issues with parsing the output.

If anyone knows of a good free/inexpensive crawler that can be executed
in an unattended fashion, please let me know.

If your using Lucene.net with web crawls what spider/crawler do you use?

Cool.  Saw those users of .NET port of Lucene.  Thanks.  It also clarified a bit; Looks like there were several attempts in the past to port Lucene to .NET, one of which ended up being commercial.

Does anyone know the answers to my 1st 3 questions (as relating to the current "Lucene.Net" project in apache incubator)?
