[opencms-dev] Lucene search module.

[M Butcher]

Marcus,

Thank you so much for working on the module. I'm working on one more
feature -- support for searching WebUsers (to make a member directory)
-- and then I will combine your work, my work, and Jens's multiple body
patches and release a 1.4 version. 

Again, thanks for your contribution... this is what I love about Open
Source stuff!

Matt
