Majority of the applications require full-text search in order to provide better user experience for their consumers. But if the data is in the normalized form in a RDMBS system or in a flat file its quite hard to achieve better user experience with full-text search. We need a better way to do search in our applications with minimum infrastructure and development effort.Lucene helps with that.

As you are continuously learning through technologies you might want to share your knowledge with other fellow engineers. To do this you need to have a proper medium and that is through blogs.
