I'm learning search technology and reading the paper about Google prototype.

Is there an open source search engine written in C++ that is easy to read?

Lucene is probably the first place to look.

There is also a port of Lucene to PHP: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.search.lucene.html (At least I think it's a full port and not a wrapper).

Lucene is Java, not C++
