We host websites in a shared hosting environment where Microsoft SQL Server full text searching is not allowed. We would love an ASP.NET API that allowed similar functionality to get around this restriction.
We can’t easily install software on the shared servers, so the API would have to be written in ASP.NET.
SQL “like” queries are our alternative and they are fast enough (our websites never exceed more than 50Mb of text) but they don’t rank results well, have a dictionary, do stemming etc
Lucene is what we were looking for http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/
