Brion--
I did try to work with the existing Lucene search at the time, but I
found it too complex and requiring too many other moving parts,
especially when trying to implement the real-time portions which was a
real requirement for us. I'd actually sent you an email back then to
chat about it, but it must have gotten lost.
I'd love to work with you guys on it, though, if we can find a common
ground.

I'd like to announce the first release of
EzMwLucene. This project
provides a simplified Lucene search to Mediawiki. It is designed to be
easy to install, configure, and run. It provides real-time, multiple
field indexing and searching as well as text indexing of standard
attachment types (pdf, xls, doc, ppt, vsd). The server is a self
contained Java application (no application server needed), and the
client portion is a standard Mediawiki extension. It is currently in
production on an internal site with over 1000 users running on Mediawiki
1.13.
Sounds neat! Indexing of uploaded document contents would be very useful
for some sites, and it would be great to have better real-time index
update options for those sites with low enough traffic to handle it.

I welcome all feedback: questions, suggestions and offers to help
improve it!
Any interest in helping to roll the new features into the existing
Lucene search that's already actively maintained for Wikimedia? This
would maximize availability of new functionality and ensure it's used
and maintained in the future.
