Otis, we've been continually impressed with the performance of Lucene. We've been ever increasing the load we are putting on it (from our small help section, to our slightly larger metros, to our big groups, and then our gigantic weblogs), and it has meet each of these challenges wonderfully.
We are currently indexing only a few weeks worth of data (about a 6.5 gig index).. I think we can increase that even more and over the next few weeks I'm going to play with it to find an optimal index size. At some point beyond that, we might consider partitioning the index into chunks so that we can allow users to search beyond just the recent posts.
