whatever happened to the impending release of whitefish? i'm looking for a full text engine and am getting fed up with dealing with lucene. anyone have another suggestion? crawler and so forth are not important here, I just need the indexing portion.

What part would you like me to elaborate on? Lucene has proven to be very touchy with respect to updating its index. I've decided that it's not worth the hassle.

greetings, martin.
It means that getting documents into the index and being able to query and get them back has proven to be unreliable. Even after taking every precaution as far as making sure that indices are opened and written and closed properly, things silently fail about half the time. I've been trying to write an indexing web service that I can use from other applications, but it's been so unreliable I'm giving up on it. On the other hand, the pike mailing list index seems to work just fine, so I'm not really sure what the difference is, though I suspect it has to do with the fact that the web service is long lived and I keep an index writer open for extended periods of time, but who knows...
