NAME

       Lucy::Docs::Tutorial - Step-by-step introduction to Apache Lucy.

ABSTRACT

       Explore Apache Lucy's basic functionality by starting with a minimalist CGI search app based on
       Lucy::Simple and transforming it, step by step, into an "advanced search" interface utilizing more
       flexible core modules like Lucy::Index::Indexer and Lucy::Search::IndexSearcher.

DESCRIPTION

   Chapters
       •   Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::Simple - Build a bare-bones search app using Lucy::Simple.

       •   Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::BeyondSimple   -   Rebuild   the  app  using  core  classes  like  Indexer  and
           IndexSearcher in place of Lucy::Simple.

       •   Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::FieldType - Experiment with different field characteristics using subclasses of
           Lucy::Plan::FieldType.

       •   Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::Analysis - Examine how the choice of Lucy::Analysis::Analyzer subclass  affects
           search results.

       •   Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::Highlighter - Augment search results with highlighted excerpts.

       •   Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::QueryObjects  -  Unlock advanced search features by using Query objects instead
           of query strings.

   Source materials
       The source material used by the tutorial app -- a  multi-text-file  presentation  of  the  United  States
       constitution  --  can be found in the "sample" directory at the root of the Lucy distribution, along with
       finished indexing and search apps.

           sample/indexer.pl        # indexing app
           sample/search.cgi        # search app
           sample/us_constitution   # corpus

   Conventions
       The user is expected to be familiar with OO Perl and basic CGI programming.

       The code in this tutorial assumes a Unix-flavored operating system and the  Apache  webserver,  but  will
       work with minor modifications on other setups.
