Hello, I'm a developer who is trying to introduce NHibernate.Search in his project.

I'm trying to understand if this tool is right for me, but I found something strange about it.

First of all, the lack of documentation: on the developer site he says that the documentation for Hibernate Search can be used, since there is a 1:1 mapping between the two classes, but I haven't found in NHibernate.Search any information about some feature such as the projection:

(For example, this example doesn't work in NHibernate.Search, since there is no FullTextQuery Class)
query.setProjection( FullTextQuery.SCORE, FullTextQuery.BOOST, FullTextQuery.THIS, "mainAuthor.name" );

To me, it seems that most of the time we should access to low level Lucene.net code to integrate its using.

I am really considering now not to use this project, but I'd like to, so can you give me some hint on where to find the state the project, since I don't think it's aligned with its java equivalent, and tell me if it's stable and
fully-functional for using in production code?

Sorry for upping this, but I forgot one thing.

Currently, NHibernate Search is in the NHibernate 1.2.1 source code package, though in NHibernate 2.0 is not present.

Can someone explain me the motivation for this? Maybe the team that choose which contrib projects goes into the source code distribution and which not.

Bye.

In nhib >=2.0, the contrib projects are moved to its own space.
