The only thing I'm surprised about is that you use Lucene for data  
which is structured in the first place. Your example is a prime for  
using a relational database, like SQlite or libmysql if you want to  
avoid a server. (eg using CoreData ;-)

In my "view" Lucene is focused on indexing large per-entity  
collections of words (eg text blobs like PDF or Word documents), and  
not on data which is already structured. This is why I asked, I'm  
kinda suprised that someone wants to use Lucene for struct data.
