Apache.org uses SWISH-E, if I remember correctly.
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/SWISH-E/
Do note that there's a 2.0 version out that does phrase searching, and 2.1
is currently be developed. I've been told that there are "SWISH" modules
on CPAN that make using swish-e a snap in perl </shameless plug>. I'd stay
away from many of the CGI examples on the current swish-e site due to the
security issues with piped opens.
The CPAN modules will let you move seamlessly from the forked model of 2.0
to the library version of swish-e when 2.1 comes out. This means you can
run swish under mod_perl without forking. (Although my ab benchmarks
didn't show that much of a difference between forking and non-forking
searches under mod_perl).
Oh, and thanks for the reminder -- I forgot to upload a bug fix to CPAN.
