We went with SOLR /lucene hosted on 
IntoVPSand it's been terrific: very flexible and reliable.

fyi, their FAQ is 404ing and their site lacks developer API docs, so it's 
unclear what they offer.  too bad.

I know there is a hosted search solution hitting the market March
1st.  It is very similar to indextank and probably worth checking out.

Good luck!

[google-appengine] Re: Full Text Search Options

[Bryce Cutt]

A quick solution for you would be to switch to Searchify (http://
www.searchify.com). Searchify has taken the open source code from
Indextank and set up up a duplicate service. I have switched over one
of my Indextank sites to their service and things have been working
well so far. They mentioned in an email that they plan to keep the
pricing within 10% of Indextank but that is not final. This will allow
you to keep doing things the way you are now with no code re-writes
(just change your secure URL).

If Searchify decides to shut down or is not as reliable as you like
you can grab the Indextank source code and set up your own personal
version on a VPS or whatever. The source code is here:
https://github.com/linkedin/indextank-engine
https://github.com/linkedin/indextank-service

The official GAE Full Text Search is in trusted tester. Unless the
pricing does not make sense I plan to switch my apps over to this when
it is production ready. I am writing an Indextank compatible interface
to it (that works both locally and over HTTP) so that I can switch
over with minimal code changes. I am including a REST interface mostly
because I have a few projects not on GAE that could benefit from
awesome FTS.

You can get a rough idea about how GAE FTS works from the slides here:
http://www.gstatic.com/io/2011/presentations/full_text_search/

As Ernest mentioned you could also try ThriftDB. It is also in beta. I
have used their service a bit to see how it is and so far things have
gone well. The interface is similar enough to Indextank that you would
probably find it an easy switch (depending on which features you
need). I have not used it enough to vouch for its reliability.

You can try taking a look at http://www.thriftdb.com. I'm currently using 
it for my project until GAE's full text search api is made available.
