Lucene Anyone?

Has anyone out there used (IE Implemented something) Lucene? My database at work is a complete mess (mainly because we have a dope smoker for a dba) and I would like to off load searching notes fields from the database and have the other fields of the row be connected to the notes.

IE if someone's car died while traveling through Texas, a table would have a row that had location information (Texas) and a notes field that would capture what happened (car died). If I search on "Texas car" is that going to give me a hit?

From what I have read so far, I have hope that it will. But if there is someone out there that can dash my hopes before I go spend a week trying to make it happen... Please let me know.
