+1 for Lucene (though I can't speak for Solr). I worked with it years ago for an internationalized search experiment. Both the Java and Python ports seemed to function pretty well, and there's a C port which I haven't tried. With raw Lucene, there's definitely a lot of assembly required. It's basically just an API. FWIW, I found it pretty easy to integrate into a web front-end. > the core engine and adds some layers of more expected usability around > it, and is probably a reasonable place to start.
