=head1 NAME

KinoSearch - Search engine library.

=head1 DEPRECATED

The KinoSearch code base has been assimilated by the Apache L<Lucy> project.
The "KinoSearch" namespace has been deprecated, but development continues
under our new name at our new home: L<http://lucy.apache.org/>

=head1 VERSION

0.315

=head1 SYNOPSIS

First, plan out your index structure, create the index, and add documents:

    # indexer.pl
    
    use KinoSearch::Index::Indexer;
    use KinoSearch::Plan::Schema;
    use KinoSearch::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer;
    use KinoSearch::Plan::FullTextType;
    
    # Create a Schema which defines index fields.
    my $schema = KinoSearch::Plan::Schema->new;
    my $polyanalyzer = KinoSearch::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new( 
        language => 'en',
    );
    my $type = KinoSearch::Plan::FullTextType->new(
        analyzer => $polyanalyzer,
    );
    $schema->spec_field( name => 'title',   type => $type );
    $schema->spec_field( name => 'content', type => $type );
    
    # Create the index and add documents.
    my $indexer = KinoSearch::Index::Indexer->new(
        schema => $schema,   
        index  => '/path/to/index',
        create => 1,
    );
    while ( my ( $title, $content ) = each %source_docs ) {
        $indexer->add_doc({
            title   => $title,
            content => $content,
        });
    }
    $indexer->commit;

Then, search the index:

    # search.pl
    
    use KinoSearch::Search::IndexSearcher;
    
    my $searcher = KinoSearch::Search::IndexSearcher->new( 
        index => '/path/to/index' 
    );
    my $hits = $searcher->hits( query => "foo bar" );
    while ( my $hit = $hits->next ) {
        print "$hit->{title}\n";
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

KinoSearch is a high-performance, modular search engine library.

Configurable near-real-time index updates.

=item *

Unicode support.

=item *

Support for boolean operators AND, OR, and AND NOT; parenthetical groupings;
and prepended +plus and -minus.

=item *

Algorithmic selection of relevant excerpts and highlighting of search terms
within excerpts.

=item *

Highly customizable query and indexing APIs.

=head2 Getting Started

L<KSx::Simple> provides a stripped down API which may suffice for many
tasks.

L<KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial> demonstrates how to build a basic CGI search
application.  

The tutorial spends most of its time on these five classes:

=over 

=item *

L<KinoSearch::Plan::Schema> - Plan out your index.

=item *

L<KinoSearch::Plan::FieldType> - Define index fields.

=item *

L<KinoSearch::Index::Indexer> - Manipulate index content.

=item *

L<KinoSearch::Search::IndexSearcher> - Search an index.

=item *

L<KinoSearch::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer> - A one-size-fits-all parser/tokenizer.

=back

=head2 Supported Languages and Encodings

KinoSearch provides "native support" for 15 languages, meaning that
PolyAnalyzer supports them.

=head2 Delving Deeper

L<KinoSearch::Docs::Cookbook> augments the tutorial with more advanced
recipes.

For creating complex queries, see L<KinoSearch::Search::Query> and its
subclasses L<TermQuery|KinoSearch::Search::TermQuery>,
L<PhraseQuery|KinoSearch::Search::PhraseQuery>,
L<ANDQuery|KinoSearch::Search::ANDQuery>,
L<ORQuery|KinoSearch::Search::ORQuery>,
L<NOTQuery|KinoSearch::Search::NOTQuery>,
L<RequiredOptionalQuery|KinoSearch::Search::RequiredOptionalQuery>,
L<MatchAllQuery|KinoSearch::Search::MatchAllQuery>, and
L<NoMatchQuery|KinoSearch::Search::NoMatchQuery>, plus
L<KinoSearch::Search::QueryParser>.

For distributed searching, see L<KSx::Remote::SearchServer>,
L<KSx::Remote::SearchClient>, and L<KinoSearch::Search::PolySearcher>.

=head2 Backwards Compatibility Policy

KinoSearch spins off stable forks into new namespaces periodically.  As of
this release, the latest is L<KinoSearch1>, forked from version 0.165; the
next will be KinoSearch3, forked from a future release of 0.3x.  Users who
require strong backwards compatibility should use a stable fork.

The main namespace, "KinoSearch", is an unstable development branch (as hinted
at by its version number).  Superficial API changes are frequent.  Hard file
format compatibility breaks which require reindexing are rare, as we generally
try to provide continuity across multiple releases, but they happen every once
in a while.

=head1 CLASS METHODS

The KinoSearch module itself does not do much.

=head2 error

    my $instream = $folder->open_in( file => 'foo' ) or die KinoSearch->error;

Access a shared variable which is set by some routines on failure.  It will
always be either a L<KinoSearch::Object::Err> or undef.

=head1 SEE ALSO 

The KinoSearch homepage, where you'll find links to the mailing list and so
on, is L<http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch>.

The Lucene homepage is L<http://lucene.apache.org>.

=head2 History 

Search::Kinosearch 0.02x, now dead and removed from CPAN, was this suite's
forerunner.  L<Plucene> is a pure-Perl port of Lucene 1.3. KinoSearch is a
from-scratch project which attempts to draws on the lessons of both. 

KinoSearch is named for Kino, the main character in John Steinbeck's novella,
"The Pearl".

=head1 SUPPORT

The Apache Lucy project has assimilated the KinoSearch code base and the
project is moving.  Support is now provided through Apache Lucy forums, in
particular the lucy-dev and lucy-users mailing lists.  See
L<http://incubator.apache.org/lucy> for information.

=head1 BUGS

Not thread-safe.

Some exceptions leak memory.
