I haven't done that, but I've been to one job interview a few months ago in which I mentioned Lucene, after hearing that they were using Verity. This company had supposedly tried using Lucene, but according to them at some point they had hit the wall with it and the performance just dropped. I do not know how large their indices were, but I suspect they were quite large. This company indexes news articles, press releases, et cetera, and keeps them around for a while (a few months or so).
