>From what I can see on the JavaDocs of LingPipe, it is more for text analyzing not searching. You could for example use the tokenizer package to tokenize your text/query before indexing/searching with these tokenizers instead of Lucene's. This could be done using a wrapper that transforms a LingPipe Tokenizer (http://alias-i.com/lingpipe/docs/api/com/aliasi/tokenizer/package-summary.h tml) to a Lucene TokenStream or something like that. LingPipe also contains functions that help with analyzing which language a text is from or others. About using the Clustering algorithms with Lucene, I do not know.
I could think of using Lucene extended by some functions from LingPipe. From the amazon page, it seems, that this book is about that, it combines the three tools to create a web search engine.
