  Managing Gigabytes [KevinBurton]
  I can vouch for M.G. as I have a copy and it's a GREAT book. Should be
  called Managing Terabytes. Its not light reading by any means and
  you'll probably have to sit down with each chapter for a bit. ([DavidSpencer] -- I agree, great thorough book, must have)

  Inquery Query help [PaulElschot]

  
  

  This engine has a more elaborated query language than Lucene.
  However, Lucene supports most of the mechanisms used by the Inquery
  operators. Recommended: the section on Query Operator Types that makes
  the distinction between Belief List Operators and Proximity List
  Operators.
