And if I get around to writing the voting module, I'd make sure you could vote for that one twice... Seriously, please don't get hung up on the 'proprietary'-ness of Lucene's query syntax. It's open, it's widely used, and has been ported to a handful of languages. I mean, why would you trade off something that works well /now/ and will most likely only get better for something that you admit sort of sucks? And I agree with Erik's assessment that it's better to keep your repository and index separated for exactly the sort of scenario you worry about. If a super-duper new indexer comes along, you can always just switch to it, then. I've done both (store everything in Lucene and just index in Lucene -- or, rather, Ferret) and I think the latter is much more sound approach. By the way, Bess, count me in. -Ross.
