Yep, I'm using PyLucene. Sorry about that, I forgot mentioning that. It is just an interface for accessing Java Lucene.
Regarding Luke, it allows to inspect the index yes. When I search cit2 on it, it also gives me "niente" results =\ Thus, I am not quite sure if the word is in the index. But then again, I don't understand why it isn't. I'm using an analyzer which allows such terms, and using the "analyzer plugin", it parses cit2 as a token. Quite the trouble...
