Lucene is not a search engine, but an API for writing a search engine, so it can do everything that you can write in Java. By itself it does nothing, like the JDK.
Thanks for the clarification.
I can only recommend Lucene, it is vastly superior to any pre-packaged search engine, because you do not depend on specific features or behavior, but can customize everything to your needs.
Assuming you have time, money, skills, etc. to do so, which is not always the case.
