Lucene + Blazor, Part 2: Results Paging
In the first installment of this series, we looked at returning results from a limited pool of items in a Lucene full text index. In this second installment, we significantly increase the number of generated items (3,000, by default) and add a numbered paging system, as used by the main commercial search engines and search sites.
Lucene + Blazor, Part 1: Basic Search
Lucene.NET is a C# port of the Java Lucene search engine library. Lucene.NET provides robust search and index capabilities enhanced by a wide array of support packages (e.g. auto-suggest, faceting) that enable the creation of robust search facilities within .NET applications.
Dotnet Lightweight Databases
My popular dotnet-blazor-crud project has long used the EF Core InMemory database provider for data persistence. While this hasn't caused me any issues -- ever, I've been aspiring to move to a relational database versus an in-memory provider. SQLite is the obvious contender here, without going to a full out-of-process database. Getting started with SQLite and EF Core is pretty easy. The real question for me was how much work it would take to swap out the in memory provider for SQLite.
