Lucene all over the place

That’s cool, I went to JavaBiN today (JUG Norway) and listened to Kristoffer Dyrkorn (BEKK Consulting) talk about Lucene and a project they implemented using it. A good talk with the basics and challenges for creating a good search. It basically comes down to knowing your data, target users and tweaking the results.

As I got back I found this article about the details behind The ServerSide search engine. It’s been a informative evening. Excellent. 🙂

Been having some trouble with my server lately. Seems it didn’t like to be put inside a small closet with zero air circulation. 😉 Note to self: think things through a little bit next time you move your hardware.

Couple of links from the downtime:
