I'm looking for an enterprise search engine (preferably GPL) offering a bit more sophisticated features than Postnuke's (ranking, stemming, indexing pdf, word, etc.) and that is able to do forms based authentication and thus build separate collections for different group permissions.
I've looked at Ultraseek, SearchBlox (Lucene), and a few others, but if possible I'd prefer to use a GPL alternative.
Any suggestions?

That looks interesting! I see in their FAQs they mention a 'soft limit' of about 10.000 documents, I will be indexing about 15.000 which is expected to grow to about 25.000 over the next 2 years. Have you had any experience with large amounts of documents?
<update>I see in this thread Fluid Dynamics will not be able to do forms based authentication, which unfortunately makes it unusable for my purpose.</update>
Also, would you be willing to provide a link of a site were you implemented it?
Thanx and regards,
Bert

It's in use for the Scout Association's websites, www.scouting2007.org and www.thejamboree.org. Anyway, the only other search engine I know of is htdig (http://www.htdig.org/) - you could look into that.

Eventually our choice fell on SearchBlox. The organisation has a lot of librarians and they like features like stemming and fuzzy searches.
Now that I'm implementing SearchBlox and try to get the form based authentication to work, I notice that SearchBlox creates a new session in the sessions table for every access. The first one as expected with the userid provided in the login form, all others as user 0. So it seems as if session_id() in pnSessionInit() returns a different session id on every access.
Any idea how I can influence that behavior?
P.S. SearchBlox is running from tomcat5 on a SuSE SLES10 machine.
