New to Apache Lucene.Net 2.0.0

Hi everyone,
   
  I am new to lucene and I wanted to use the search engine in my VB.net(web application). I have converted the C# files I downloaded from the lucene.net 1.9.0.7 in the url  http://www.dotlucene.net/ to VB files. I also downloaded Java 5.
   
  I was hoping, if you guys could guide me through the next steps to make, because I am seriously out of my element here.
   
  Thank you

  Thanks a lot Digy and Jon and the group, I seem to have started pulling in results, with the name change. I am about stepping out, I'd query deeper into the code on monday.
   
  Thanks again

Hi DIGY,

What did you mean filename <> filename.

I tried writing the code to show me the hits, with 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
"Response.Write("I found " & hits.Length & " values")"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

And that also came out, not finding anything on the search results. I am
aware my problem is with the indexing and search display but I cant point my
finger on it. the c # code is below.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
Document doc = new Document(); 
Field f1 = new Field("FileName", DocumentPathToIndex, Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.NO); 
Field f2 = new Field("Text", rd.ReadToEnd, Field.Store.NO,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED); 
doc.Add(f1); 
doc.Add(f2); 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering if the problem could be .txt files I had attached, if
there is a specific format, I am to put text on the text files.

one of the files named 5.txt has these contents


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
day see the night
day please
day where
2) casinos in bombay
3) too much test
4) another line
Day one is far
day two rolls


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------


And the c# search code is 



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

protected void searched(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
{ 
string Indexpath = "C:\\lucenex\\dump\\blabla\\"; 
string test = "day"; 
Search1(Indexpath, test); 
} 



private void Search1(string path, string TextToSearch) 
{ 
bool createANewIndex = false; 
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(path); 
QueryParser queryParser = new QueryParser("text", new StandardAnalyzer()); 
Query query = queryParser.Parse(TextToSearch); 
Hits hits = searcher.Search(query); 
string s = ""; 
int i = 0; 
Response.Write("I found " + hits.Length + " values"); 
while (i < hits.Length) { 
s += hits.Doc(i).GetField("Filename").StringValue + "" +
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Chr(10) + ""; 
System.Math.Min(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(i), i - 1); 
Response.Write(s); 
Response.Write(hits.Doc(i).GetField("Filename").StringValue + "" +
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Chr(10) + ""); 
Response.Write(hits.Doc(i).GetField("Text").StringValue + "" +
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Chr(10) + ""); 
} 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

I am not sure if the the problem is, the search is not reading the text
file.

I truly am confused how to go about this.

Hello everyone,



I built a test VB.Net code based on a template DIGY gave me and it works.
The only problem I have is, I am unable to get hits from the search, when I
use repeated terms. I did the search and I the results keeps coming back
empty. I am pasting my code below, please could anyone help me find what's
wrong with my code. I am also attaching the text files I used.

Good Morning guys, 

I hope you all had a good weekend. 
I wanted to ask if anyone had a simple example of indexing and searching
in ASP.net.
I went through the code I downloaded from the site and the code for
indexing and searching kept getting me confused.

Thanks all, and please forgive my naive questions.

Tony,

Try downloading the files from http://www.dotlucene.net/download/ simply
download the ZIP file and look for the dll I the bin directory. Add as a
reference in your VS.net project.

Then take a look at the 5 tutorials here
http://www.dotlucene.net/tutorial/ , they are in c# but you can use an
online converter like this one:
http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx

I had the same learning curve as you and although I only dabbled with
Lucene I got an indexer and searching system working quite quickly.

Hope that helps

RE: New to Apache Lucene.Net 2.0.0

Posted by Jon Palmer <jp...@contactnetworks.com>.
The fieldnames are case sensitive, read Digy's mail carefully,

Its true that

 "fieldname" == "fieldname"

But 

"FieldName" <> "Fieldname"


I've found that Luke, http://www.getopt.org/luke/ is a great tool for
figuring out indexing your index and really understanding what is in the
index without having to write code to debug it.

Hi DIGY,
   
  What did you mean filename <> filename.
   
  I tried writing the code to show me the hits, with 
   
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
  "Response.Write("I found " & hits.Length & " values")"
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
   
  And that also came out, not finding anything on the search results. I
am aware my problem is with the indexing and search display but I cant
point my finger on it. the c # code is below.
   
   
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
   Document doc = new Document(); 
 Field f1 = new Field("FileName", DocumentPathToIndex, Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.NO); 
 Field f2 = new Field("Text", rd.ReadToEnd, Field.Store.NO,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED); 
 doc.Add(f1); 
 doc.Add(f2); 
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
   
  I was wondering if the problem could be .txt files I had attached, if
there is a specific format, I am to put text on the text files.
   
  one of the files named 5.txt has these contents
   
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
  day see the night
day please
day where
2) casinos in bombay
3) too much test
4) another line
Day one is far
day two rolls
   
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
   
   
  And the c# search code is 
   
   
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
   
  protected void searched(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
{ 
 string Indexpath = "C:\\lucenex\\dump\\blabla\\"; 
 string test = "day"; 
 Search1(Indexpath, test); 
} 
   
   
   
  private void Search1(string path, string TextToSearch) 
{ 
 bool createANewIndex = false; 
 IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(path); 
 QueryParser queryParser = new QueryParser("text", new
StandardAnalyzer()); 
 Query query = queryParser.Parse(TextToSearch); 
 Hits hits = searcher.Search(query); 
 string s = ""; 
 int i = 0; 
 Response.Write("I found " + hits.Length + " values"); 
 while (i < hits.Length) { 
   s += hits.Doc(i).GetField("Filename").StringValue + "" +

  I am not sure if the the problem is, the search is not reading the
text file.
   
  I truly am confused how to go about this.

Hello everyone,



I built a test VB.Net code based on a template DIGY gave me and it
works.
The only problem I have is, I am unable to get hits from the search,
when I
use repeated terms. I did the search and I the results keeps coming back
empty. I am pasting my code below, please could anyone help me find
what's
wrong with my code. I am also attaching the text files I used.

Good Morning guys, 

I hope you all had a good weekend. 
I wanted to ask if anyone had a simple example of indexing and searching
in ASP.net.
I went through the code I downloaded from the site and the code for
indexing and searching kept getting me confused.

Thanks all, and please forgive my naive questions.

Tony,

Try downloading the files from http://www.dotlucene.net/download/ simply
download the ZIP file and look for the dll I the bin directory. Add as a
reference in your VS.net project.

Then take a look at the 5 tutorials here
http://www.dotlucene.net/tutorial/ , they are in c# but you can use an
online converter like this one:
http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx

I had the same learning curve as you and although I only dabbled with
Lucene I got an indexer and searching system working quite quickly.

Hope that helps

I am sorry for my elementary questions, I am very new to the lucene

Hi everyone,

I am new to lucene and I wanted to use the search engine in my
VB.net(web application). I have converted the C# files I downloaded from
the lucene.net 1.9.0.7 in the url http://www.dotlucene.net/ to VB

I was hoping, if you guys could guide me through the next steps to

Good Morning guys, 

I hope you all had a good weekend. 
I wanted to ask if anyone had a simple example of indexing and searching
in ASP.net.
I went through the code I downloaded from the site and the code for
indexing and searching kept getting me confused.

Thanks all, and please forgive my naive questions.

Try downloading the files from http://www.dotlucene.net/download/ simply
download the ZIP file and look for the dll I the bin directory. Add as a
reference in your VS.net project.

Then take a look at the 5 tutorials here
http://www.dotlucene.net/tutorial/ , they are in c# but you can use an
online converter like this one:
http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx

I had the same learning curve as you and although I only dabbled with
Lucene I got an indexer and searching system working quite quickly.

Hope that helps

Hi everyone,

I am new to lucene and I wanted to use the search engine in my
VB.net(web application). I have converted the C# files I downloaded from
the lucene.net 1.9.0.7 in the url http://www.dotlucene.net/ to VB
files. I also downloaded Java 5.

I was hoping, if you guys could guide me through the next steps to

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I am new to lucene and I wanted to use the search engine in my
VB.net(web application). I have converted the C# files I downloaded from
the lucene.net 1.9.0.7 in the url http://www.dotlucene.net/ to VB
files. I also downloaded Java 5.

I was hoping, if you guys could guide me through the next steps to
make, because I am seriously out of my element here.

Thank you

    Good Morning guys, 
   
  I hope you all had a good weekend. 
  I wanted to ask if anyone had a simple example of indexing and searching in ASP.net.
   I went through the code I downloaded from the site and the code for indexing and searching kept getting me confused.
   
  Thanks all, and please forgive my naive questions.

RE: New to Apache Lucene.Net 2.0.0

Hi Tony and all,

First few comments.  http://www.dotlucene.net/ is not the official
Lucene.Net site.  Please use http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/

>From the Lucene.Net, if you follow the download link you will see a
README.txt which will explain why you can't find the files you are looking
for.  Hopefully, by end of next week, those files will come back as an
official release.

If you can't wait, you can get the source code off SVN (again, see the
official site) and build the DLL yourself.  Once you have the DLL, you can
use it with VS.NET just like any other DLL.  Many folks have done this
without any problem.

As for a demo on how to index and search using Lucene.Net, in addition to
what other folks already pointed out, you should also look in the source
code -- there is a "Demo" folder which has two working examples in C#.
Given VB.NET being somewhat similar to C#, you should be able to convert the
C# demo to VB.NET -- Google the net, maybe someone already posted such an
example in VB.NET.

Regards,

-- George Aroush

Thats good to know about not needing Java, I read the build file and it mentioned that I needed both Java and Ant 1.6.

Hi everyone,

I am new to lucene and I wanted to use the search engine in my
VB.net(web application). I have converted the C# files I downloaded from
the lucene.net 1.9.0.7 in the url http://www.dotlucene.net/ to VB
files. I also downloaded Java 5.

I was hoping, if you guys could guide me through the next steps to
make, because I am seriously out of my element here.

Thank you
