Hello all, I'm considering Lucene for a specific application and am trying to ensure that it is the right tool for what I'm trying to accomplish.
At a high level I have a list of restaurants in a database and a list of tags related to the restaurant (e.g. Italian, Formal, Expensive, etc). Each restaurant also has a location (longitude/latitude). My primary goal using Lucene is to conduct searches where the user can do things like: - Misspell the name of the restaurant (by a few chars) - Type "Italian Food" instead of just Italian or perhaps "Great Italian" - Or even use some synonyms (e.g. Deli and Delicatessen) - of course I'd define these terms. Are these types of use cases something that can be done with Lucene? Or is there a more appropriate API that I haven't found? Thanks.
