Know where you're coming from and understand. If it has to be, would
say Perl might be a useful compromise as it's widely installed on the
average shared host. Of course you also then probably need shell
access to the server.

It's tricky through - IMO the reason why there are no serious pure-PHP
search engines is PHP is essentially not a good choice for solving
this type of problem, partly as fundamental things like the array data
type are not particularily efficient for sorting and perhaps more
because the support libraries are weak when compared to something like
Perl's CPAN. And perhaps PHP doesn't attact the sort of developer
that's into more "computer sciency" type development.
