The bottom has some pseudo code as well. 2. Lucene In Action 3. Search this list and other places for information on the Vector Space Model. The Wiki also has a number of links, etc. that may prove useful, including a variety of talks and articles. 4. Last of all, and probably best of all, the code! Have a look at how TermQuery and BooleanQuery work, as well as the Searchers, etc. Hope this helps, Grant On Oct 8, 2006, at 6:57 AM, Michael Chan wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone know where I can find descriptions of Lucene's searching > algorithm, besides the lecture at University of Pisa 2004?
