Hi Grant, In Carrot2 (and Carrot Search's commercial products) we're not using Lucene as an indexing/ search service directly, but we are re-using a lot of internal infrastructure (like analyzers, ported snowball stemmers and other segmentation stuff). We also plan on using the new language identifiers, automata, tests framework...
I guess this shows that Lucene is a lot _more_ than just a document retrieval library. There are nuggets in the codebase that one can utilize on their own, without the rest of Lucene. If you need details, let me know on prv, I'll scan the sources and provide concrete examples.
