I use Lucene.net for indexing content & documents etc.. on websites. The index is very simple and has this format:

 LuceneId - unique id for Lucene (TypeId + ItemId) TypeId   - the type of text (eg. page content, product, public doc etc..) ItemId   - the web page id, document id etc.. Text     - the text indexed Title    - web page title, document name etc.. to display with the search results

I’ve got these options to adapt it to serve multi-lingual content:

  1. Create a separate index for each language. E.g. Lucene-enGB, Lucene-frFR etc..
  2. Keep the one index and add an additional ‘language’ field to it to filter the results.

Which is the best option – or is there another? I’ve not used multiple indexes before so I’m leaning toward the second.

  1. I do [2], but one problem I have is that I cannot use different analyzers depending on the language. I’ve combined the stopwords of the languages I want, but I lose the capability of more advanced stuff that the analyzer will offer such as stemming etc.
