Open Source Java Search Engines

Hibernate is an Object/Relational Mapper tool. It's very popular among Java applications and implements the Java Persistence API. Hibernate ORM enables developers to more easily write applications whose data outlives the application process. As an Object/Relational Mapping (ORM) framework, Hibernate is concerned with data persistence as it applies to relational databases (via JDBC).

The Lemur Project develops search engines, browser toolbars, text analysis tools, and data resources that support research and development of information retrieval and text mining software, including the Indri search engine in C++, the Galago search engine research framework in Java, the RankLib learning to rank library, ClueWeb09 and ClueWeb12 datasets and the Sifaka data mining application.

OpenSearch is a distributed search and analytics engine based on Apache Lucene. After adding your data to OpenSearch, you can perform full-text searches on it with all of the features you might expect: search by field, search multiple indices, boost fields, rank results by score, sort results by field, and aggregate results. Unsurprisingly, people often use search engines like OpenSearch as the backend for a search application, think Wikipedia or an online store. It offers excellent performance and can scale up and down as the needs of the application grow or shrink. Its distributed design means that you interact with OpenSearch clusters. Each cluster is a collection of one or more nodes, servers that store your data and process search requests. You can run OpenSearch locally on a laptop, its system requirements are minimal, but you can also scale a single cluster to hundreds of powerful machines in a data center.
