For my project purpose, I need to implement a search capability which will search a string from around 1000 Microsoft word file. I decided to use Lucene.net for that purpose.I need to point out a particular directory and Lucene.net will search from that.
Can you please provide me an useful link to search keyword from a directory using Lucene.net. Or do you have any better approach apart from Lucene.net?

Lucene.net requires that you create an index before you can use Lucene.Net to query. Try going to the CodeProject Search page, or Google if you must. There is a lot of information about using Lucene and Lucene.Net available. In fact, CodeProject uses Lucene.Net for its Search.

Indexing requires you to read all the files, or other content and store them as a collection of properties that you can search.

I found the book "Lucene in Action", second addition, quite useful.

Also, RavenDb uses Lucene.Net and ElasticSearch uses Lucene, so may give you a faster start to creating and querying your data.
