The index transformer generates the index and keeps it by default in a folder called
"index" in the Cocoon work directory. You can specify a different folder using the
"directory" attribute of the lucene:index element. You only need to run the
LuceneIndexTransformer pipeline when your content has changed and you want to update
the index ... you certainly don't have to reindex whenever you want to search!
But the transformer only generates the index: to search the index you should use the
SearchGenerator, which is well-documented on the Cocoon website.
