I am successfully using lucene in our application to index 12 different types of objects located in a database, and their relationships to each other to provide some nice search functionality for our website. We are building lots of lucene queries programmatically to filter based upon categories, regions, zip codes, scoring, long/lats...

My problem is that there is content that is not in the database which we have a lot of... (about 3000+ pages) that we need to also include in the search results. It's a whole lot of jsp's.

As I see this, I can either
a) Migrate this application to nutch
b) Write a web crawler to crawl our site and inject the crawl results into our lucene index.

I am leaning towards option B (write our own crawler), since I think it would only take me a couple of days of write a simple crawler and I wouldn't have to change much else.

Can anyone think of any points/counterpoints for using Nutch vs. writing a crawler to extend our already used lucene framework?

Thanks.
