I'm pretty new to UIMA, but know a thing or two about Lucene. Care to
share more about what kinds of things you are interested in? Are you
talking Semantic Web type stuff or things like enhanced NLP search? I
see from the Javadocs that there is a place to hook in search
implementations, but haven't dug deeper than that.

Read the Lucene Java FAQ at http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/LuceneFAQ
The IBM version of UIMA comes with a search engine that lets you search for
UIMA annotations. Suppose you have book description annotations, and inside
those, author, title etc. annotations. With this search engine, you are able
to, for example, search for title and author words that occur within the same
book annotation (and there could be many in a given document). It's like
searching XML documents with XPath and ftcontains. You didn't use to be able
to do this sort of thing with Lucene, but with the new payloads, you could
implement something like it. That's what I would call a non-trivial integration
of UIMA into Lucene.
