I have been looking at lucene for a couple of years, but I havent tied it in a large scale setting...so I wonder, how does it perform??? Any clues on how long i will take to search, say 1000 documents??? How effective is the search algorithm, compared to for instance Alta Vista??? thanks

  I am testing Lucene with 40 Milion Articles. It is talking 4 to 5 days to index articles and the search time is around 2 to 5 seconds. I am still working on optimizing the index.

  Lucene performs extremeley well, given the correct configuration. We run a few lucene indexes, the largest of which contains well over 3 million records, and our site averages close to 2MM daily pageviews.
  
  Our average query response time (95th percentile) is ~80ms, and we serve thousands of requests per day using a RAM-based servlet configuration in Caucho Resin.
  
  The search algorithm is a standard TFIDF algorithm (with some additional gravy), which can be easily extended or replaced given that the source code is well designed. I would highly recommend this package, having used it over the past 3 years in a variety of applications.

  Hi drunk_injun,
  
  I am using lucene for text searches. Actually I am trying to make the searches faster.
  I just wanted some inputs regarding the configuration changes that you have made to lucene. What are h/w configurations you are using etc.
  I would be very glad to receive your replies at swati_virmani@yahoo.com
  
  TIA,

  Hi, anyone encounter too many open files in MAC OS X when using lucene?
  
  I suspect that when too many search is in doing , it will cause the whole machine goes down with "too many open files" error.
  
  thanks

  Caveat to last message - the response time of 80ms includes our own modifications to lucene to enable additional sorting and filtering parameters. Raw query times generally average < 25ms.

  thanks for your reply. Im currently struggling on implementing alta vista on a customer project. It being written in C and with a lousy java api makes interop very difficult. I will see if i cn get the time to test out lucene instead..

  sounds promising...Im currently struggling trying to integrate Alta Vista on a customers project. AV has very bad documentation and is written in c, making interop pretty difficult..I will see if i can get the time to try out Lucene in this setting...
  
  thanks for your reply..
