No, I am in the middle of development, actually more like design phase. So I don't know the speed of my searches. The final product will have heavy load on SELECT query if using database with possibility of joining 2 tables. I don't worry about speed of searches during light traffic. I am worry about what happens during heavy load. For a simple example, if I am doing SELECT a, b, c, d FROM mytable WHERE e = hello in a mysql database. And if I am doing the same thing in Lucene by search "hello" in index and make it return a,b,c,d. And I do all these continuously to simulate heavy load. Which one is more likely to have more queries per second? I think it would be mysql based on what I read on their benchmarks on the web. what do you think?

With just a pure searcher.search(Query) using a basic query type like TermQuery, I very seriously doubt you'd beat MySQL performance. What kind of Query are you using for your searches?
