I use mnoGo. I am sure others are better, but the ability to dynamically tune the indexer for my namespaces and separate them (additionally separate talk pages), crawl doc/pdfs, provide myself with any type of report I want off search terms used (redirections authors never thought of), migrate in mailing lists or what have you externally, follow interwiki links for a single page, obviously it can search as different user/group restrictions and feed that to appropriate individual user/group restrictions if you need that sort of headache, writing stops into templates and what not is quite handy as well. But I am sure all the big guys do this. And the search aint bad either.
That sounds extremely promising. How did you integrate mnoGo with your MediaWiki installation? If you would be willing to provide a step-by-step guide on MediaWiki.org, it would be very helpful (for me, anyway, and hopefully for other people!).
