  • It should create and maintain index of website and should provide search results on same site. Just like Google Custom Search. – Harikesh Aug 12 '14 at 12:45

It is perfectly reasonable to use Lucene on a static website, if you can execute the Lucene search code on the server. If you can't execute any server code, as far as I know you need to look elsewhere than Lucene.

  • Can i host code on google appengine and run website on some different server ? It would be great if you could provide link to instructions to achieve same. Thanks a lot. – Harikesh Aug 12 '14 at 17:20
