anyone playing with http://nutch.org/
there is a working prototype of a search engine using lucene (the framework nutch is built on).
however, there are some political difficulties with using this - it's based on java, and java is not free.
a number of people seem to value the fact that wikipedia runs completely on open source software higher than a working fulltext search.
one _could_ try to port that code to mono and nlucene..
