Thread:Extension talk:Lucene-search/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); }
