Hi Grant, These are 2 cases into work i've done that I can think of:
-use Lucene to match products in a database with eBay auctions, the title of the auction is used as the query to Lucene. -use a servlet filter and Lucene to map well-formed URL's into a website to it's individual (product) pages. A deeper URL results in a Lucene BooleanQuery with more clauses. Hope this is enough (ab)use...
