Q 4 authors: what can be searched

Dear authors,

If I understood correctly Lucene
can perform searches on file systems.
Is it possible to integrate this
functionality with database searches
as well, in a way making it independent
of where a file is stored?

Cheers,

Gian

Where the text comes from is of no concern whatsoever to Lucene. If you have text, Lucene can index it, and search it. How you tie what is indexed back to your domain is your concern, not Lucene's.
