[Tagdb] text search engine as a database

[anand]

For one of the applications I built, I did use Lucene for search as well as
a fielded database.

For example, I had various categorized documents. Hence to list documents in
a category I used to fire a (fielded) search on lucene rather than go to the
DB.

I have also written an article on how Lucene can be used as a database: Using
Lucene As A Database<http://semanticvoid.com/blog/2006/06/06/using-lucene-as-a-database/>
