I would suggest you take a look at Solr -- http://lucene.apache.org/solr -- which requires essentially no Java knowledge to use. It has a Python client which at the very least might help with the learning curve. If you want to try an alternative to JSP/Servlets for your web framework, there's Grails/Groovy (http://grails.org/) which for me is a heck of a lot of fun. BTW, there's a Grails plugin available which uses Compass/Lucene. Who knows, it might be enough for you. A lot of folks are using Rails/Ruby/Solr which is also worth checking out.

Hi all,

I need to develop a website that allows for searching and browsing the
underlying documents collection. I am going to be using Lucene as the
underlying search engine. I am however not very familiar with web
development, and am new to Lucene as well. I have used JSP/Servlets
before, and since Lucene is written in Java I am guessing that that
will be the way forward this time as well.

My question is, is using JSP/Servlet an appropriate approach for what
I am trying to do? Also, I am more familiar with Perl and Python than
with Java. So, should I consider using any other Lucene implementation
(Plucene/PyLucene) etc.and go the CGI route instead?

Thanks in advance.
