search lucene zend

Although this group is focusing on Drupal integration with external Java Lucene indexers I've been invited to join this group to announce a PHP implementation of the Lucene search for Drupal. So this will be a little different direction for the group.

I've begun work on a 4.7 module that implements Lucene search from the Zend Framework. The framework is still a moving target, limited utf8 support was introduced last week and from the mailing list is this hint that "Full utf-8 support is planned, but will come later."
