Documentation

You can build your own documentation by running 'make DoxygenDoc' from your 'out-of-source' cmake-configured build directory. CLucene is a very close port of Java Lucene, so you can also try looking at the Java Docs on http://lucene.apache.org/java/ There is an online version (which won't be as up to date as if you build your own) at http://clucene.sourceforge.net/doc/html/
