Nutch Vs. other indexers

[Tonal Web Design - Stijn <St...@tonalweb.com>]

I'm using this mostly for site search, I have access to the database, would
it just be better to use Lucene and index my database instead of using
nutch? Is there application that's better suited for indexing a database
that uses Lucene, and preferably outputs opensearch XML?

If you are indexing a DB, don't use Nutch.  Use Lucene.  Doing it manually is easy enough (get rows via JDBC, convert them to Lucene Documents with appropriate fields), etc.  There are also commercial solutions like DbSight.
