I found Luke, which is supposedly able to browse a lucene index: http://www.getopt.org/luke/. I didn't see any results, not sure if this is because it doesn't work or because the index is empty. I'm almost sure nothing gets indexed, though, because on my machine I only get 3 files of total size 48 bytes :) What I don't see is how the search data gets saved. I expected to find this in some of the save/commit/create hooks of lift (afterSave, afterCreate or afterCommit), but I don't see it even in our old version on googlecode. I don't remember who committed the compass code, maybe we should ask Darren?
