Isn't the index file created by Lucene readable from Ruby? I was planning to index the files via Lucene and use Ruby to read the index file or if I cannot read the index file from Ruby I plan to expose a webservice from the Java side and consume it from the Ruby side. Looking at Nathaniel's post about CDBaby, I think I am on the right path. I am looking at Ferret too but I think Lucene is more matured.
