We’ve come up with a module that integrates Apache Lucene Search Engine (indexing, relevance, etc) with EE.  Its in beta right now on a site we are deploying in November, but this looks promising.  Wondering how interested the community would be in using something like this.  Thoughts?

I’ve done something similar but probably less extensive (suits my own purposes) for Sphinx.  I’d like to poke around in your code to see how it works just out of curiosity. 😉

We actually are using Lucene + Zend Framework + an EE extension/module to get the job done.  Its pretty neat and we can index anything on our site (even apps/stores outside of EE) and pull the results in to EE.

yeah I’ve created sphinx indexes that I can reuse across EE instances to pull in useful data.  my plugin for sphinx is pretty basic though.  I didn’t make the sphinx API options available through the plugin attributes because the logic of what I wanted to do with the data was almost always totally custom… so whenever I have a new need for sphinx data I create a new function in the plugin and do what I need, then pass the ultimate $DB->query results to a private function in the plugin that processes the output using the template tags between the plugin’s pair.  nothing particularly amazing, but convenient for me 😉

anyway I’d like to see your module just to sort of compare notes 😉

Very interested in your Lucene module. Exactely what I´m looking for. Is this going to made available soon?

I would be super thrilled to purchase a module such as this. Are you guys still actively working on it?
