<section name="Lucene Sandbox">
<p>
Lucene project also contains a workspace, Lucene Sandbox, that is open to all Lucene committers, as well
as a few other developers. The purpose of the Sandbox is to host various third party contributions,
and to serve as a place to try out new ideas and prepare them for inclusion into the core Lucene
distribution.<br/>
Users are free to experiment with the components developed in the Sandbox, but Sandbox components will
not necessarily be maintained, particularly in their current state.

This project provides pre-compiled versions of the Snowball stemmers
for Lucene.

<subsection name="Ant">
<p>
The Ant project is a useful Ant task that creates a Lucene index out of an Ant fileset. It also
contains an example HTML parser that uses JTidy.

<subsection name="SearchBean">
<p>
SearchBean is a UI component that can be used to browse through the results of a Lucene search.
The SearchBean searches the index for a given query string, retrieves the hits, and then brings
them into the HitsIterator class, which can be used for paging and sorting through search results.

<subsection name="WordNet/Synonyms">
<p>
The Lucene WordNet code consists of a single class which parses a prolog file
from the WordNet site that contains a list of English words and synonyms.
The class builds a Lucene index from the synonyms file. Your querying code could
hit this index to build up a set of synonyms for the terms in the
search query.

<a href="http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/">WordNet</a> is an online database of English language words that contains
synonyms, definitions, and various relationships between synonym sets.

<subsection name="SAX/DOM XML Indexing demo">
<p>
This contribution is some sample code that demonstrates adding simple XML documents into the index. It creates
a new Document object for each file, and then populates the Document with a Field for each XML element, recursively.
There are examples included for both SAX and DOM.

<subsection name="Javascript Query Constructor">
<p>
Javascript library to support client-side query-building. Provides support for a user interface similar to

<subsection name="Javascript Query Validator">
<p>
Javascript library to support client-side query validation. Lucene doesn't like malformed queries and tends to
throw ParseException, which are often difficult to interpret and pass on to the user. This library hopes to
alleviate that problem.

<subsection name="High Frequency Terms">
<p>
The miscellaneous package is for classes that don't fit anywhere else. The only class in it right now determines
what terms occur the most inside a Lucene index. This could be useful for analyzing which terms may need to go
into a custom stop word list for better search results.
