you can do that, but IMHO, that's not a very unified way of searching, since
there are now 2 indexes on which to search. What if the data resides on more
than one database? On different databases? What I tried to do was basically
have Lucene handle _all_ indexing and searching...
I can definitely see the pros of having the database index the data though,
just didn't think it was very clean.
