Hi,

Maybe I can help you out?  I 've built an index, using Xapian, on
about 1.5 - 2 million products (books, CD, DVD).  I am not having
these scalability issues, but Xapian does require that you have a
dedicated server of VPS to install.

Take a look at http://xapian.org/

People are very helpful on their mailing list, but if you have any
specific question, please ask.  I can 't compare to Lucene as I have
never used it before, but I do not that Xapian rocks!  I am also
planning on writing a series on my blog about Xapian.  I 'll let you
know when it 's ready.
