Feel free to add your software/website here if it makes use of Lucene. Please do not add your website if it uses Lucene merely indirectly, e.g. if you make use of a blog publishing system which in turn uses Lucene. We reserve the right to remove links where it isn't visible that Lucene is used, so consider adding a text like "powered by Lucene" to your search result page. Note to spammers: don't bother adding your site here, we're using the appropriate meta tags so search engines will ignore the links anyway.
