Apparently, I had downloaded a 3 yr old version of Lucene that is prominently linked to for some reason from the home page of the project...downloaded the most recent Lucene source code, compiled, used the new DLL, fixed about everything. The documentation kinda sucks, but the price is right and its real fast.
Since I can't comment on the marked answer above related to a 3 year old version, I would highly recommend installing the Visual Studio extension for NuGet Package Manager when adding Lucene.NET to your projects. It should add the most recent DLL version for you unless you need a specific later version.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
