What do you really gain compared to native Lucene queries?
If your API achieves exactly the same as what's possible with Lucene 
it is just a 'useless' wrapper. 

A wrapper around native Lucene queries would make sense if it could
somehow use some of the Hibernate Search specific meta data. As an
extreme example one could generate some meta classes a la JPA2. This way
one could ensure that you can get help with which field names are
available.
