Hibernate Search: Search Engine for the Masses

Search engine technology has been around for a while in Java thanks to the excellent Apache Lucene. The cost of using this kind of technology in traditional Java EE applications has been too high for a massive adoption. Hibernate search aims to simplify this field by providing a search capability for Hibernate persisted domain models without the traditonal hassles such as manuel index synchronization and data coversion to and from. This talk, recorded at the Grails Exchange 2007 event put on by Skills Matter, presented the Hibernate Search architecture and its common usages.
