Lucene is a library to index data. Its up to you to drive it the way you want. Think about the search result, how would your user like to see the information that the search page has brought up. Do they want to know page numbers, or is it section number, or it could be even sentence number. Depending on that breakup and stick the positional information like chapter, paragraph, section number, sentence number etc along with the fragment of the book and make a document. Dont forget to add a metadata to identify the book.
