Far from it. I frequently have issues even with search on Google or Amazon, who invested millions into that.
Dealing with people being imprecise in naming and spelling, different contexts and personalized results is still barely touched or non-existent, and definitely not solved.
Lucene provides building blocks, not a solution, and not even all of them.
Search on a small scale may seem working if you have phrases that are mostly unique, like recent movie titles or celebrity names. Go beyond that and its a mess.
- Finnucane 8y agoThe 'solution' you're looking for also isn't necessarily the 'solution' Google and Amazon are looking for. You're looking for an answer to a question, or to find a thing, they're looking to maximize ad revenue and sales. So the answer to your search is tempered by what gets them the most money. _That_ is what they've spent millions trying to figure out.
