I have a problem finding references to this subject and would appreciate some help.
We have an application that uses a central sql server and a local lucene. Since the data is synchronized we wish to put the lucene on the same machine as the sql server and access it remotely. I was looking for documentation and examples on how to do it in C# but found only in java.
You might be looking for SOLR, which is a search server built on top of Lucene. You can install it on your central server; and query it using http. SOLR only exist as a Java implementation, but this shouldn’t be a problem because it is a standalone server that you can query remotely.
There is also an open source project, Solr.NET which provides a nice .NET interface to querying the server – so you don’t have to mock around with http requests.
