I am trying to build a MVC 4 app that will be able to search any field of any table of a database to return a resultset of records showing a constructed record showing the pertinent fields which could possibly contain said value and would allow display the the identifying features of the record as a link to get to open the orignal record containing the field from the original table.
I have heard that you can use Lucene in combination with Full Text Indexing on SQL Server to carryout such a search.
I have also heard that you could add Lucene to your VS project using NUget Project Manager because it is included with VS 2012. However, I have not found any site that will how to go about adding Lucene to my project other than some obsolete pages about downloading the project's source code, compiling it and including the asssembly. These are all for version 2.x or less. Most are about 4 years old or greater.
So I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to the instructions on how to add this toolkit to my project so I can make use of all the example code, I have found in my search, to implement my solution.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.
