I use Orion extensively within our OpenSymphony CMS to index and search
content (articles, comments etc).
It works quite well, the biggest database I've tried it with is about 3000
or so articles, but growing all the time.
Lucene has quite an active list, why not ask there?
As for your q's:
- yes, just add the lucene.jar to the /lib directory
- it has API's for indexing and searching (and much much more depth than
just that ;))
- you can make any content searchable, just got to write an indexer for
weird files (word docs etc if you want them)
- licensed under GPL
