There is also a CLucene project... which is a re-implementation of
Java-Lucene in C++.  It's LGPL also.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/clucene/

I saw this months ago but hesitated posting it as I didn't want to step on
toes.... plenty of people have pored sweat into our current code. ;-)

Lucene & CLucene are very fast with respect to searching large indexes....
I don't know how it compares to HtDig.... or how Lucene/CLucene does
compressing indexes..... and there are only a few active developers for
CLucene.  It is creeping towards a 1.0 release.

Lucene/CLucene is an indexing/retrieval library.... it has NO spidering
code.

One proposal would be for HtDig 4.0, we do code cleanup and rework the
codebase into using a substantially similar API to Lucene/CLucene for
storing & searching.  This is what I'm hoping to do with libhtdig
(which I am still working on).

At that point we could see where CLucene has gone and decide what to do
next.

There is also an effort to keep the Java Lucene compiling (natively) with
gjc.

This might be of interest here:
