💖 Lucy::Docs::Cookbook 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Cookbook — it's a 3pm manual page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's basically the aesthetic companion piece to the docs. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

Lucy::Docs::Cookbook — Apache Lucy recipes 🍓

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the Cookbook is this thematic lil' collection of documentation that covers some of Apache Lucy's more sophisticated features. It's giving advanced-bestie energy. If you want a step-by-step intro to Lucy instead, go read Tutorial — that's the beginner arc, this is the main character season two. 👑

📖 Chapters

• FastUpdates — okay so here's the tea: index updates are fast on average, but worst-case update performance can be significantly slower. To make index updates consistently quick, we have to manually intervene to control the process of index segment consolidation. 💅
• CustomQuery — let's explore Lucy's support for custom query types by creating a "PrefixQuery" class to handle trailing wildcards. Obsessed with this one fr fr.
• CustomQueryParser — define your own custom search query syntax using QueryParser and Parse::RecDescent. Iconic. ✨

🎀 Materials

Some of the recipes in the Cookbook reference the completed Tutorial application. These materials live in the "sample" directory at the root of the Lucy distribution:

sample/indexer.pl        # indexing app
sample/search.cgi        # search app
sample/us_constitution   # corpus

Like... the whole trio. Indexer, searcher, and the constitution itself. 🦋

Quick vibe check: those # comments above are literally from the original, so don't come for me — sample/indexer.pl is the indexing app, sample/search.cgi is the search app, and sample/us_constitution is the corpus. That's the whole squad. 🫶
