Of course if you really want to be scary there's always Zend's pure-PHP 
implementation of Lucene... :)

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.search.lucene.html

I suspect performance is dreadful for large or heavily loaded sites, 
though I'm a bit curious if anyone's fiddled with it for smaller sites. 
Not being able to share code with the Java implementation means there 
would need to be more reimplentation, of course. :(

But not needing a Java VM means it could be easier to set up, and more 
likely to be usable by folks on shared hosting.
