search-engine

Hi

I would like to implement a search functionality within my iPhone app which can search for terms within all the documents in the application.

I believe I cannot use Apache Lucene directly since it is in Java. Can I use Lucy which is a C port of Lucene (not sure if Perl and Ruby would work on it)?

Or is there any other open-source search engine which I can use in my iPhone app for search within the app?

Thanks
