There's CLucene (C++) and Lucene.NET. Both offer limited support for old versions of the Lucene file format. Two other non-Lucene-ish full text search libraries are Swish (C) and Xapian (C++). > It seems like Lucene4c is dead and looking through trunk of Lucy it > seems like there also isn't much yet.

In the grand scheme of its development, KinoSearch (Lucy antecedent / rough draft) is reasonably close to having a C API. But there's still a fair amount of work to be done. Marvin Humphrey
