    Sitecore 7 introduced a lot of new things including the Sitecore.ContentSearch namespace containing new indexing and search APIs. These makes it easier to work with Lucene indexes as you now don’t actually need to know anything about Lucene. Though, as you might have noticed in the change logs…
