Lucene indexes "documents". A document is composed of fields and does not need (and it actuually is not) to be a physical file.
In the simplistic example of a site consisting of a single dynamic web page backed by a database. You would create "documents" based on the database data where the db data goes into named fields. Then when you construct your query, it will return a list of documents. When you iterate through each document, you need to pull the appropriate field out of the document to reconstruct the appropriate URL.
In a nutshell, it can do what you want, but there is a lot of setup work to construct documents and a lot of work to display results from documents from queries.

AFAIK, Lucene indexes files. How then, do you index a dynamic site? The only files that exist on a dynamic site are source code files. Servlets would never be indexed...how then do you index the content returned from the servlet? Can Lucene do this?
The Lucene site is pretty sparse in information. Not having worked with it, and not knowing every option available when using it, I think there might be some other alternatives. John
