NAME
       Plucene - A Perl port of the Lucene search engine

SYNOPSIS
   Create Documents by adding Fields:
               my $doc = Plucene::Document->new;
               $doc->add(Plucene::Document::Field->Text(content => $content));
               $doc->add(Plucene::Document::Field->Text(author => "Your Name"));

   Choose Your Analyser and add documents to an Index Writer
               my $analyzer = Plucene::Analysis::SimpleAnalyzer->new();
               my $writer = Plucene::Index::Writer->new("my_index", $analyzer, 1);

               $writer->add_document($doc);
               undef $writer; # close

       Search by building a Query

               my $parser = Plucene::QueryParser->new({
                       analyzer => Plucene::Analysis::SimpleAnalyzer->new(),
                       default  => "text" # Default field for non-specified queries
               });
               my $query = $parser->parse('author:"Your Name"');

       Then pass the Query to an IndexSearcher and collect hits

               my $searcher = Plucene::Search::IndexSearcher->new("my_index");

               my @docs;
               my $hc = Plucene::Search::HitCollector->new(collect => sub {
                       my ($self, $doc, $score) = @_;
                       push @docs, $searcher->doc($doc);
               });

               $searcher->search_hc($query => $hc);

DESCRIPTION
       Plucene is a fully-featured and highly customizable search engine toolkit based on the
       Lucene API. (<http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene>)

       It is not, in and of itself, a functional search engine - you are expected to subclass and
       tie all the pieces together to suit your own needs.  The synopsis above gives a rough
       indication of how to use the engine in simple cases. See Plucene::Simple for one example
       of tying it all together.

       The tests shipped with Plucene provide a variety of other examples of how use this.

EXTENSIONS
       Plucene comes shipped with some default Analyzers. However it is expected that users will
       want to create Analyzers to meet their own needs. To avoid namespace corruption, anyone
       releasing such Analyzers to CPAN (which is encouraged!) should place them in the namespace
       Plucene::Plugin::Analyzer::.

DOCUMENTATION
       Although most of the Perl modules should be well documented, the Perl API mirrors Lucene's
       to such an extent that reading Lucene's documentation will give you a good idea of how to
       do more advanced stuff with Plucene. See particularly the ONJava articles
       <http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/01/15/lucene.html> and
       <http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/03/05/lucene.html>. These are brilliant
       introductions to the concepts surrounding Lucene, how it works, and how to extend it.

COMPATIBILITY
       For the most part Lucene and Plucene indexes are created in the same manner. However, due
       to current implementation details, the indexes will generally not be compatible. It should
       theoretically be possible to convert index files in either direction between Plucene and
       Lucene, but no tools are currently provided to do so.

       As Plucene is still undergoing development, we cannot guarantee index format compatibility
       across releases. If you're using Plucene in production code, you need to ensure that you
       can recreate the indexes.

MISSING FEATURES
       The following features have not yet been fully implemented:

       o   Wildcard searches

       o   Range searches
