You will learn how to build your own index from complex documents and how to execute queries in order to identify matching documents for specific words and phrases as well as content that starts with or has “fuzziness”.

By the end of the book, you will have learned all the essentials you need to know to add search to applications, as well as how to manage the search process and performance as your data grows.
