Depends on what you mean by "search". If you want "fulltext search",
then yes, your best choice so far is couchdb-lucene. But if you just
want to find documents by their properties, then you don't need to use
some external tool.
For example I use this function to "search" for animals in my database.
function (doc) {
if (doc.doc_type == 'Animal') {
emit(doc.ear_mark, doc);
emit(doc.belt, doc);
emit(doc.birth_date, doc);
};
}
the user starts typing (either of these properties) in a text field
and is able to find the animal she is looking for.
