Francesco, I have been using Xindice for about six months. I consider my project a success story, even though we haven't shipped the product yet. Xindice is fast, reliable and easy to use. I gave some serious thought to using a relational database, but in the end decided to go with XML. I haven't run into any bugs, which doesn't mean they aren't there :-). The other advantage with Xindice is that if you have a problem someone is always happy to help out. And the two main developers are available directly.
The biggest question for you to consider is whether or not your project will fit within Xindice. There are guide lines, mainly for size, on whether or not your project is a good fit with Xindice.
