Is Lucene good for this?

We have web-searches against product names or company names (both
stored as keywords and stems) in our database. There are around
10,000 product names and maybe 100,000 company names.

We already have a search engine in place but are doing a rewrite, and
people mentioned Lucene.

Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

Generically speaking, those sound like modest requirements.

Also check out Solr. It uses Lucene in the back end, but is presented as
a convenient web-service. Where I work uses it almost exclusively for
this sort of thing.
