Look'n'feel is derived from LuceneSearch.php.
I'd recommend instead using the search plugin system built into 1.5 and later; see extensions/MWSearch for the Lucene interface for that. It might need a little more tweaking, but will be smoother to replace things with in future than the old hacked-up LuceneSearch.php.
Next week I'll be testing out Sphinx (http://sphinxsearch.com/) which is a GPL'd fulltext search engine, which at least according to its authors is faster than Lucene -- much faster at indexing! They don't however currently have appropriate tokenizing for CJK presently. We could see about adding that, but I'd certainly love to compare it to something else like Estraier if it's available.

I'll set this up for you this weekend. Make sure you've got a fast connection and plenty of space. :)
