Lucene and Nutch

[mayank.15]

Hey Everyone!
I am a newcomer to Lucene and Nutch usage. I crawled a few webpages to create an Index using Nutch. Now instead of using Tomcat to search through this created index, I wanted to search through this index using a typical search in Lucene. Now, I realized that Nutch doesnt store its index the same way Lucene does when in Indexes documents. Could someone help me out as to how to go about searching this Index created with nutch?

I have never heard of Lucerne and Nutch. What is it? Is it a city in France?

If that is the case then, lucene is an apache project for indexing and searching and nutch is a webcrawler.
