Hi Ryan, I'm not sure Lucene's the right tool for this job.
I have used regular expressions and ternary search trees in the past to do similar things. Is the set of keywords too large for an in-memory solution like these? If not, consider using a tool like the Perl package Regex::PreSuf <http://search.cpan.org/dist/Regex-PreSuf/> - it can convert a list of strings into a compact set of alternations, which you can then import into a Java program. (I'm not aware of any similar Java tools.)
