That sounds very tricky! This is client-side Javascript, right? I don't know how JS running in someone's web browser could access your Lucene index without a server making it available. If you want an easy server solution, Solr and ElasticSearch are both good options that expose Lucene to remote clients, with web-based APIs you could call directly from client-side Javascript. Or you could send the JS calls to whatever you're using to serve the HTML pages, and have that use Lucene/Solr/ES/etc. behind the scenes.
