Never mind, I see from reading that you already found Monezuma....
But it does look like it might get some activity.

Have you looked at Montezuma? http://projects.heavymeta.org/montezuma/
It's a port of Ferret (which is port of Lucene) to Lisp. It's also
on the list for the google summer of code to add some additional
functionality to it.
BTW: If its alright I'm going to update the docs to add a section
on having two versions of Elephant installed and using ASDF to
manage them.

Hello,
Has anyone found a good solution for full text search in lisp?
I'm interested in indexing website objects such as posts and
perhaps external documents as well. BDB doesn't, to the best of
my knowledge, have the appropriate building blocks for an
efficient indexing system and you certainly don't want to do it on
top of the current btree interface.
I have an old full text index code base that supported wildcard
and NEAR queries, all built on top of Elephant btrees. It was
convenient but had a query time that slowed down linearly with the
avg # of documents per word.
I've decided that the best approach for me is to connect to a
separate, probably external, system to which I can incrementally
add content that will return something I can easily turn into an
ordered list of OIDs.
Most solutions I've run across require other languages, servers
that add up to needless complexity for my modest application. In
the lisp world I've only seen Montezuma, which isn't being
developed or seriously maintained (unless it's just really stable
I'd rather not fight with stale code).
I am considering hacking something simple on top of postmodern
that uses the new text indexing functions of Postgresql 8.3 and
wondered if anyone here has insight into this application of
postmodern or into the full-text indexing from lisp problem in
general.
Thank you,
Ian
