Open Lucene Search Engine. It looks like someone has re-opened the Lucene.Net project as DotLucene. For those of you who did not hear, Lucene.NET was an open source implementation of Lucene (which is also open source). However, at some point, the project owners decided to close the project and form a new company to sell the code as a product. I have been using the OS version of Lucene for a while now (there was another implementation prior to Lucene.Net as well), so I was a little bummed to see it go away. I had also started to do some writing on .NET version, until the project disappeared. Looks like I can now finish that work and get it published some where. You can find the bits over on SourceForge.
