Fulltext search engine for engine documentation

Hey here, I just played around with the open source Lucene fulltext search engine and I've put the doxygen documentation on our server to index it - check it out here: beffy.de/searching/jsp/search.jsp.
It's not *really* helpful yet, because a good search engine requires useful meta tags (description, keywords, etc.) as well as a fair amount of text to index, which these pages don't provide, but it can be pretty handy nevertheless... (the summaries don't make much sense now, and the ranking is kinda screwed because of this lack of information...)
Anyhow, I've put an index on our ToRK tutorials (tork.zenkel.com and on the doxygen stuff, so feel free to try them both and provide some feedback here... maybe we can put some more tutorials on there to index, so it will become more and more useful...
EDIT: I removed the doxygen index, cause I'm not sure if the Torque C++ documentation should be publicly available... so for the moment you can only search through our tutorials...
