Do you mean that a full text search on the news text isn't required?
I might be wrong, but it seems to me it doesn't sound as a typical
Lucene usage..
I'd go for the (c) option.. (but not just one table :-)

P.S.:
how
The signed applet is surely a simpler and more elegant solution..
In some projects however this could not be a viable option:
the "System properties problem" you have pointed out (and I had missed
:-) is hopefully going to be solved in 1.9
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-369)

Wouldn't this be a good case for the JarDirectory implementation
somebody asked for?
The index could then be statically written in a jar file downloaded
with the applet (the original mail refers to static offline HTML
files).
It could even be a great idea for improving the Maven site-plugin :-)
