Create a Search Engine with SQL 2000 and ASP.NET C#

I am looking to create a search engine that will be based on 5 columns in a SQL 2000 DB. I have looked into Lucene.NET and read the documentation on it, but wondering if anyone has any previous experience with this?

Thanks

IMHO it's not so much about performance, but about maintainability. In order to index your content using Lucene.NET you'll have to create some mechanism (service of triggered) which will add new rows (and remove deleted rows) from the Lucene index.

From a beginner's perspective I think it's probably easier to use the SQL Server built-in full text search engine.
