This lucene based plugin provides all the power of Lucene with eZ
publish. Although it is in an beta state, it works very well in our
test environment and live production sites.

fuzzy searches, wildcards, ...

"docs and fields"

the search engine to your particular setup

Brief installation instructions are provided in the README file

UPGRADE
========
- From 0.2 to 0.7

your ezp site again with the provided script in

templates
FUTURE
=======
A lot more, see the summer conference talk and updates here later as
well as the ROADMAP file in the distribution:
- sorting in advanced search and in template fetch (content, search)
[partially implemented]

color histogram, color distribution) [not released, but first
versions work locally]
