Lucene Search Engine Index + Query Pipeline

Built a search engine pipeline following Lucene fundamentals: ingesting and indexing text files, then running queries with analyzers and relevance scoring. Worked through build automation using Apache Ant and validated search behavior with test datasets.

Highlights

• Indexed large sets of .txt documents into a Lucene index with analyzers and structured fields.
• Implemented query workflows to return ranked results and validate relevance behavior.
• Used Apache Ant for repeatable builds and Luke to inspect/verify index structure.
• Documented how tokenization and analyzers impacted retrieval quality.
