Thank you Doug and Andreas!!
A year ago I didn't know anything about Lucene and, in general, hadn't
much experience in open source. I have to say that it was a lot of fun
to use Lucene and especially to work with the community. It is
impressive how responsive the developers and committers are
Thanks for the congratulations, Doug!
The credits for the Lucene side of the work really go to Michael, and
to the entire Lucene group - this community sometimes came up with
patches faster than we could ask for them.
To answer your question: How is Lucene used in this product?
- Needless to men
The primary folks on the Lucene side are Michael Busch and Andreas
Neumann. Certainly other folks at IBM have contributed significant
pieces (though notable NOT me) but Michael and Andreas did most of the
heavy lifting.
I'll leave them to take credit for their work.

I just saw the following new Lucene application announced:

While I work for Yahoo!, I know nothing about Yahoo!'s involvement in
this except for what I've just read in the press. Were any of the IBM
folks on this list involved? If so, congratulatio
