Build an index with Zend_Search_Lucene

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

It would be *really* nice to see Zend build a direct DB full-text relation to index scheme that makes indexing easier so you don't have to add your documents manually. @ MySQL camp the consensus was that if you need fine tuning on your full text search, "use Lucene" ...

If you _do_ insist, or you have some reason why third-party solutions
won't work, the simplest search accepts a single term and looks it up
using wildcards and the LIKE comparator:
$safe_q = mysql_real_escape_string( $_GET['q'] );
$query = "SELECT * FROM pages WHERE title LIKE '%{$safe_q}%' OR
content LIKE '%{$safe_q}%' ";
In many applications this pattern is sufficient for users to find what
they need.
It breaks down when searching hundreds of thousands of rows, or if you
need boolean searches (search for foo or bar) or some other sort of
advanced search functionality like stemming.

But isn't the original request about searching pages on a site? That would mean adding all page content into a db table, unless some keyword tagging for individual pages is employed. For a search function like this I'd use the database maybe to store some statistics about the entered search terms, but not for searching the pages themselves.
