yes, you can but only if you use nutch + solr. If you use old nutchfrontend then you might brake index and searching after merging content or indexes.
If you don't merge then search should work during crawling. but remember that results don't come available for searching immediately after fetching. all pages must be fetched andf then indexed first to be searchable.
