Try starting with Solr. You can have your search server up and running
without writing any code. And Solr's Data Import Handler can load data
direct from the database.

Subject: New Lucene User
Hi,
I have a requirement to perform a full-text search in a new application and
I came across Lucene and I want to check if it helps our cause.
Requirement:
I have a SQL Server database table with around 70 million records in it. It
is not a live table and the data gets appended to it on a daily basis.
The table has about 30 columns. The user will provide one string, and this
value has to be searched against 20 columns for each record. All matching
records need to be displayed in the UI.
My Analysis
Based on what I have read until now about Lucene, I believe I need to
convert my database table data into a flat file, generate indexes and then
perform the search.
Questions
- To begin with, is Lucene a good option for this kind of
requirement? Note: Let us ignore daily index generation and UI display for
this discussion.
- Should the entire data of 70 million records exist in one flat
file?
- How do I define what fields (20 columns) should be searched among
the complete list (30 columns)?
As I am just starting off, I may not even know about other dependencies. I
kindly request you to provide clarifications / reference to an example that
would suit my case.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Raghu
