Agreed. Has anyone played with using ferret instead of lucene? Many
third-party hosts support Ruby now, whereas Java support is minute by
comparison.
Ferret currently does not support compact index file, which is the default
format of Lucene index. This situation makes a small problem to reuse existed
index files. Obviously we can re-index for Ferret, or just wait for Ferret being
ready -- it's on the top of Ferret's to-do list.
Besides, Solr may be also deserved to mention since it focuses on reliability
that in some sense proved by technorati.
