Zend_Search_Lucene will work well - but it's not very fast, and doesn't
scale that well. I used it on one project, and in retrospect wish I
hadn't bothered.

If you want to put a lot of data in it, or need speed, I'd suggest you
use one of the various standalone indexing tools like xapian, sphinx or
the java version of lucene - these will have a long running process and
will provide far better performance.
