Apache Lucene.NET
C# full-text search library, ported from Apache Lucene, that .NET applications reference to index and search documents.
lucenenet.apache.org/repositorydocs
Apache Lucene.NET is a C# port of the Lucene search library for applications that run on .NET. The project homepage describes it as a full-text search library for .NET, and the project’s documentation describes it as a code library and API that an application calls to add search to its own code.
The homepage presents a beta line as the latest version, and its install command asks NuGet for a prerelease package. The Apache Software Foundation publishes the project.
Worth knowing
The stable line on NuGet is older than the beta line, and the two support different .NET targets.
