You should be aware that the concepts of htdig and lucene are *pretty* different. With htdig you'll get an up and running system very easily. This system might be not as much as flexible as lucene because htdig only indexes a limited range of document type.
Lucene instead is more like a Java API that allowes you to *program* your own indexers and such ...
I was a technical lector of a German Lucene book, so I can tell you some more details about Lucene if you want ...
But basically I would say if you just want to index HTML/PDF/DOC files than stick with htdig and if you'll need a more flexible solution try Lucene. Tho - I think you still have to deal with UNIX privileges no matter which type of search engine you install.

Daniel,
HDig sounds like a pain to install. Would you be interested in installing lucene instead?

And what will htdig do for us ? is there an example site out there somewhere ?
I would need a shell account (root or another user). I prefere a root shell because it is quite difficult to setup htdig as a normal user.
If you install htdig as a normal/unprivileged user, htdig is still required to be able to read your HTML docs.
Installing htdig means ...
* Either compile htdig or install the appropriate RPM. * Modify the appropriate configuration file and setup some cron jobs. * Write some HTML template for htdig.
Finally I would say only the htdig configuration file and the htdig templates are possible candidates to be versioned using CVS.
