in reply to How to build a Search Engine.

People may also want to check out Apache Solr. It's a Java "webapp" that you run in a Servlet Container (like Tomcat) that provides webservice-ish HTTP APIs for POSTing documents to be indexed and GETing results for queries.

It's got all the power of Apache Lucene, without needing to know anything about the Lucene Java APIs or writing Java code -- All of the options and text analysis configuration is specified in straight forward XML configuration files. (there's even an analysis GUI you can use to see how the various tokenizer/tokenfilters you configure for each field affect the way they are indexed/queried.

There are not currently any spiffy Perl module bindings for talking to Solr, but the XML format for updating docs would be trivial to generate using XML::Simple, and query results can be returned in several formats: including JSON and XML.
