[Mediawiki-l] What is the *best* Full-text search engine (for my needs ; ) )

[johan.boye at latecoere.fr]

Hello,
 
  According to this webpage :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fulltext_search_engines, more then 10
Full-text search engine are available for Mediawiki. My users would like
to search parts of words.  For the moment, look for the word "foobar"
shows answers, not if I look for "foob" :-/
 
  I just test Sphinx but I seems doesn't work better then the built-in
MySQL search engine
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch). I'm looking for
a simple  full-text search engine to run on a minimalist LAMP server. I
would like to avoid Java & stuff like gcj. 
 
  What could be your advice?
 
    Thanks,
 
        Johan
