Is HIbernate Search worth for database Search?

My application is basically a people directory -lookup(about 1500 people) with all the information contained in database? I started to build this using SPRING-Hibernate and I arrived at the point to implement people search.. To be honest I have never done this kind of thing and completely clueless about where to start. I want to know if it is worth to learn and implement HibernateSearch for my application as it doesn't ha开发者_开发技巧ve any document search needs and just database search where tables have joins/associations?

Also if there are any tutorials available on internet which can guide me on starting this kind of project please let me know.

I suggest to use hibernate-search, because it has many functionalies and utilities... Hibernate-search contains full-text search and it uses Apache Lucene core for creating indexes etc.
