Book Recommendation

Hi,

The dev list didn't quite seem the right place to put this, but this is
mostly a question for the developers:

Are there any books/papers on the theory behind Lucene that would be
beneficial if I were looking at learning how FTS engines worked; all I can
seem to find is "Introduction to Information Retrieval" the original paper
that introduced Google and another from a masters student studying in
Helsinki. Anything else anybody would recommend?

Thanks,
- Joseph

The first two are certainly a great place to start. The second edition of
"Introduction to Information Retrieval" in particular is an excellent
resource, and fairly recent. Beyond that, I would suggest diving into the
code of Lucene itself.

Re: Book Recommendation [In reply to]

I have been finding this book

"Information Retrieval Implementing and Evaluating Search Engines
(Büttcher, Clarke, Cormack)"
(http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=12307
<http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=12307>)

....
an excellent read as well.

Also there is the classic managing gigabytes which focuses a little more
on some of the practical elements of it rather than theory.

Just my 2cents

Re: Book Recommendation [In reply to]

Avi and Greg, all three of those look like great resources; I especially
like the more practical ones.
I suppose getting my hands dirty in the source wouldn't hurt too much
either. ;)

Thanks,
