Welcome to Apache Lucy
Introduction
Lucy will be a loose C port of the Java Lucene search engine library, with Perl and Ruby bindings. The project was undertaken when it occurred to the authors of two Lucene ports, KinoSearch and Ferret, that as they had written more and more C code, their projects had converged... so maybe they ought to join forces.
