When I figure it out myself, I'd be happy to write that up :)

Otis and I have both written several articles on basic Lucene usage,  
as well as the book on Lucene.  We're in the process of updating the  
book for the upcoming version of Lucene.  And if my application gets  
into decent production use before we ship the book, I'll likely add  
something to it about my use of Solr (possibly) and so on.

For starters, it's straightforward to index a Document in Lucene with  
a "tag" field, and if it is handed "foo bar baz" a tokenizer could  
separate that into 3 separate tags, and a query for tag:foo would  
find the document.
