Xapian is an Open Source Search Engine Library, released under the GPL. It's written in C++, with bindings to allow use from Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Tcl, C#, and Ruby (so far!)
Xapian is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications. It supports the Probabilistic Information Retrieval model and also supports a rich set of boolean query operators.
Note that ohloh's automated summary below is confused by some ".st" data files which it assumes are uncommented smalltalk. So Xapian isn't written in smalltalk at all (it's mostly C++), and is actually quite well commented (27.6% comments compared to ohloh's 22% average for C++ projects).
