In this chapter, we toured the full range of functionality available in mapping persistent objects for search. We can now adjust settings for Hibernate Search's built-in type bridges, and can create highly advanced custom bridges of our own.

We now have a deeper understanding of Lucene analysis. We have worked with some of the most useful custom analyzer components, and know how to independently obtain information on dozens of other Solr components.

We are now able to adjust the relative weight of classes and fields through boosting, to improve the quality of our search results when there are sorted by relevance. Last but not least, we learned how to use conditional indexing to dynamically prevent certain data from being searchable based on its state.

In the next chapter, we will turn to more advanced query concepts. We will learn how to filter and categorize search results, and pull data from Lucene alone without needing a database call.
