It has built-in full-text search (integrated as of v8.3) with word stemming, weighted indexes, and all that. But since it's a first-class part of the DBMS, it supports transactions, partial indexes, and other fun stuff. Take a look at PostgreSQL.

I have looked again -- I really like the document-oriented model and the ability to store binary attachments. I'm waiting for 1) <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/couchdb/browse_frm/thread/e9674621076b93db/83a58d051b4b0406" rel="nofollow">completed Lucene integration</a>, and 2) breaking the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/couchdb/browse_frm/thread/22473d0cbe985077/f8099f02da2a2321" rel="nofollow">2 GB limit</a>. Then CouchDB will really be perfect for my needs. But until then, Solr is a finished product that provides similar advantages. Jan Says: I would encourage you to take a closer look at CouchDB.

Thanks Jan. I have looked again — I really like the document-oriented model and the ability to store binary attachments. I’m waiting for 1) completed Lucene integration, and 2) breaking the 2 GB limit. Then CouchDB will really be perfect for my needs. But until then, Solr is a finished product that provides similar advantages.

Despite the ongoing development, a lot of things work quite well. If you need assistance in any form, check out the Google Group or the Freenet #couchdb channel on IRC. Cheers, Jan -- I would encourage you to take a closer look at CouchDB. Despite the ongoing development, a lot of things work quite well.
