Someone came into my office today and asked me about the project I am trying to Lucene for -- "why aren't you just using a MySQL full-text index to do that" -- after thinking about it for a few minutes, I realized I don't have a great answer.
MySQL builds inverted indexes for (in theory) doing the same type of
lookup that lucene does. You'd maybe have to build some kind of a layer
on the front to mimic Lucene's analyzers, but that wouldn't be too
hard....
My only experience with MySQLfulltext is trivial test apps -- but the MySQL world does have some significant advantages (its a known quantity from an operations perspective, etc)..... Does anyone out there have anything more concrete they can add?

I'd say that MySQL full text is much slower if you have a lot of data... that is one of the reasons we started using lucene (We had a mysql db to do the search), it's way faster!
