there are code samples and whatnot on the Lucene site to help get you
started writing your own application.  It's very easy to use : )

Essentially, we have a database (can't recall if it is Oracle or MSSQL) that contains a bunch of articles. There is a website with search functionality that allows the user to retrieve those articles and display them on the page. Essentially it's like a Wikipedia type website. If it's relevant, I'll
see if I can get the existing architecture that we currently use.

I'm not sure if it's a better idea to use something like Solr or start from scratch and customize the application as I move forward. What do you think?


I probably would start with Solr and use the DataImportHandler.
