Check out riak, they are continuing to develop their full text search engine that integrates with their data store. I have yet to play with it but it looks rather promising and you wont have to deal with trying to bolt on your lucene/solr into couch/mongo.

I do wonder why data store projects such as MongoDB and CouchDB don't start with FTS as the very foundation of everything they do - task one should have been FTS.

I have seen several emails/blogs about mongodb and 10gen musing over FTS. There are a few projects if i am not mistaken that have "bolted on" FTS to mongo but I do not think they have had the same development/LOE as riak search. But with out playing/testing with all those options I can not speak authoritatively on the topic. FTS no doubt will be an emerging factor in the future in the NOSQL landscape IMHO.
