We use Locayta, which is the commercial version of this, for our search
stuff. It works reasonably well, and is quite featureful, but you do need
to do some translation to get things into a format that it will deal with.

It's also slightly weird getting your head round its input and output
formats.

I believe www.cam.ac.uk used to (and may still) use xapian as its main site
search, among several other reasonably high profile sites.
