If someone has the skill and interest, I think a port or adaptation of
the Lucene search program to Ruby would be very nice to have. I have
the interest but not the skill.
But I’m not sure how far Erik has gotten with it yet…

I am … fitfully working on Text::Balanced. It’s difficult because it’s very idiomatic Perl and depends on a feature (pos and \G) that there are
ways to emulate in Ruby, but nothing that quite works the same way.
I have some work I’m doing on Ruwiki to make it a Webrick servlet, and then
I think I’m going to try to approach this again.

I also have the same interest in Perl’s Text::Balanced module.

I also have a start of a port but not the time to complete it.
If someone intends to work on a Ruby lucene I can probably
dig it out and pass the code over. Don’t remember how close to complete it is.
Lucene is powerful stuff. For many needs I think a Ruby Lucene
to index objects that are then saved in a straight array
(or via Madeleine + cache) would beat SQL db solutions any day.
I’ve never quite understood why you should have to prespecify
the form of your db objects. Why not allow max flexibility
and simple do deep indexing with something à la Lucene? (Well, I can think of some reasons but for the general case… )
It’s implemented as a subclass of Minero Aoki’s excellent ‘strscan’
module.
