I think Lucene is pretty easy to use and integrate. We had to write a couple of custom HitCollectors to do some of things we wanted to do (particularly sorting)
Sorting is now available (as of Lucene 1.4, one bug identified and fixed in the .1 release after that, get Lucene 1.4.3 if you're starting fresh though). The new sorting feature is quite amazing, in fact. It sorts on more than one field if you like, and you can write custom sorting extensions. For the Lucene book I wrote a custom sort that sorted the results by geographic distance. I indexed restaurants and their coordinates (a contrived example of X,Y coordinates) and sorted search results by the distance provided a search time (eg. your location, to find the closest restaurant).
, but other than that what they provide is good. The
documentation is fairly clear, but I would be glad to help out if you got
stuck.
Same here - would be more than happy to help.
