API search from a Java program

Following from my earlier post on this forum and a helpful Rainman's reply, I managed to make the API- based search work from a Java program. I am posting the steps (perhaps clumsy at places, but working) here as it may be of interest to others. Setup:

• add LuceneSearch.jar on your classpath
• modify lsearch.conf, lsearch-global.conf and lsearch.log4j and put them to your project's folder

lsearch.conf

• set MWConfig.global to point to lsearch-global.conf
• set Indexes.path
• set Logging.logconfig to point to lsearch.log4j

lsearch-global.conf

• make sure that you point to localhost

code:

    Configuration config = Configuration.open();
    SearcherCache cache = SearcherCache.getInstance();         
    URI uri = new URI("http://localhost:8123/search/wiki/maradona?limit=3");
    HashMap query = new QueryStringMap(uri);
    double version = getVersion(query);
    SearchEngine search = new SearchEngine();
    IndexId iid = IndexId.get("wiki");
    iid.forceMySearch();
    cache.waitForInitialDeployment();
    cache.getSearcherPoolStatus(iid);
    cache.waitForInitialDeployment();
    SearchResults res = search.search("wiki","search","maradona",query,version);
    for (ResultSet title : res.getResults())
    {
         String result = title.title;
         System.out.println(result);
   }
