I would like a beginner's guide to using Cluence. For example, a step-by-step instruction/tutorial would be great.

A: 

Collective Intelligence in Action might be worth looking at. It discusses the Java version of Lucene, not Clucene, but may be helpful to you all the same.

Lucene In Action will get you started on all the concepts of Lucene, complete with hands on examples adn tutorials for using the Lucene API to do just about every common task. CLucene is just a vanilla port of Java Lucene to C++, so the API is virtually identical, except it probably lags behind that of Java Lucene.
