Overview:

Zoie is a real-time search and indexing system built on Apache Lucene.

Donated by LinkedIn.com on July 19, 2008, and has been deployed in a real-time large-scale consumer website: LinkedIn.com handling millions of searches as well as hundreds of thousands of updates daily.

News: Zoie 2.0.0 is released (here) - Compatible with Lucene 2.9.x.

In a real-time search/indexing system, a document is made available as soon as it is added to the index. This functionality is especially important to time-sensitive information such as news, job openings, tweets etc.
