This is a good opportunity to update my search reading list. Books * Lucene in Action - A bit out of date, but it has a lot of the core concepts of Lucene. 10 years ago, this was the go-to book even if you’re working with Solr or Elasticsearch, to understand the core data structures * Relevant Search (my book) - Introduction to optimizing the relevance of full text search engines. Getting a bit old now, but still relevant for classic search engines. * AI Powered Search (disclaimer - I contributed) - Author Trey Grainger is brilliant, and has been a long-time colleague of mine. He managed the search team at Careerbuilder (where we did some work together). This is in some ways his perspective on how machine learning and search work together. * Elasticsearch The Definitive Guide - online free, very comprehensive, book from Elastic --- Blogs * OpenSource Connections (my old company) Blog (http://o19s.com/blog http://o19s.com/blog) - lots of meaty search and relevance info * Query Understanding (https://queryunderstanding.com/ https://queryunderstanding.com/) - Daniel Tunkenlang is a long term very smart search person.
