Last but not least, a few pointers to further information. He highly recommend you to get a copy Hibernate Search in Action. This excellent book covers Hibernate Search in much more depth than this online documentation can and has a great range of additional examples. If you want to increase your knowledge in Lucene we recommend Lucene in Action (Second Edition). Because Hibernate Search's functionality is tightly coupled to Hibernate Core is it a good idea to understand Hibernate in more detail. Start with the online documentation or get hold of a copy of Java Persistence with Hibernate.

If you have any further questions regarding Hibernate Search or want to share some of your use cases have a look at the Hibernate Search Wiki and the Hibernate Search Forum. We are looking forward hearing from you.

In case you would like to report a bug use the Hibernate Search Jira instance. Feedback is always welcome!
