You can perhaps try to create a separate index file in Lucene which will 
store the threads + the urls (but recomposing the correct Jahia+portlet url 
may be quite complex) and then requests both indexes when a user performs a 
search (and aggreagates all results or display them separately but on the 
same search result page). The problem is that there is no standard "Search 
API" in J2EE so this will be quite custom to Jahia and to this portlet....
