Hi, One good option is to consider using Solr as it helps to access the index remotely. If you want to use Lucene and you are ready to build your own API then you could have a web application, which will receive user query, search in the index and return the result set in user expected fashion.
You could build your App using RMI but this may listen in some other port. Having a web app would be easier.
