I'm doing something similar, only with a JSP interface.  The problem
that I'm having is that HDF doesn't always give the whole document.  
There is a bug report
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12659) that appears
related, but the "proposed patch" doesn't seem to work.  People look at
me funny when I suggest they say everything important they have to say
in the first section of the document.

Has someone written a unit test for this yet?  If not, then I would be
happy to write one, (if) when I get back from vacation.

I always had Lucene in mind (after I found out about it), though for 
some reason I never got a search engine based project after
I started POI...   I guess I should probably request to be an emertus 
committer about now.  Other people did the work I'd planned
to in other areas as well.

Nice to see a real life usage of HDF (even though it's just in scratchpad 
mode).
