I have used it about a year ago in Jboss and Weblogic.

It is pretty easy to integrate and get started. In general, it is a good tool.

Two things that you may want to be aware:

(1) The concurrent update in Lucene is not intuitive. If the contents that you 
will search change very frequently, you may have more work to do to get it 
right.
(2) If you do the updates as a backend process, dependent on your architecture, 
it is general not recommended to start a new threads from the application code. 
We ended using JMX but the multi-threaded code for updating Lucene index can 
get ugly sometimes. 

Things may be getting better for the newer version of the Lucene. 

Good luck,
Zhiyong

Lucene worked for us in the past.  It's open source.
