title: MongoDB full text search vs Lucene?
body: <p>How does MongoDB's full text search compare to Lucene at the present time? The reason for the question is due to my indeterminacy to:</p>
  
  <p>a) use mongo's FTS implementation in production since it was still in beta around 6 months ago </p>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <p>b) because lucene uses Java which will introduce yet another moving part.</p>
