Bearing in mind that the aim here is to provide a site wide search ... There are a lot of ways that you can use Lucene (and I am not an expert in it, so best to read up on Lucene yourself to get a really good understanding). We used it to index pages just like a search engine does. Therefore if your database data is browsable within the website then Lucene will index it and make it searchable.
However you could also add, modify, and delete Lucene entries when you update your database records and include a URL to the controller/view that will display that data. There are lots of ways that you could solve the problem of site wide search (and this discussion has been giving me some ideas too for my current project). So the best thing you could do I think is study up on Lucene and work out how best to integrate it to your project.
