CLucene is a high-performance, scalable, cross platform, full-featured,

the process of selecting and parsing your data files to pump them into
the search engine yourself, and any specialized queries to pull it back
for display or further processing.

The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API

syslog is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.
Where you had a simple non-structrured string in syslog() you have a
combination of description and tag/value pairs.
