I need something like Lucene to do an optimized full text search in Cocoa. I am working on an Iphone app to search through a database.
Anybody has any luck with other databases. Any help is appreciated.
So far, I can only find this.

The official Lucene is written based on Java, if I'm not mistaken, and I haven't played with the ObjC port you've mentioned. It's a Mac OS X project and a quick look shows some dependancies that may be difficult to port over to the iPhone.
Depending on the complexity of your searching needs I see a few possible paths for you:
- For simple searching: the built-in SQLite supports indexes. This will be fast.
- Wait for SDK 3.0 and CoreData.
- Try your luck porting the above project.

looks like SQLLite is an easy way out. I am not sure if I explained myself properly. I am looking to build an Iphone app that can do searches by passing the search phrases to a remote server. Can this be done using standard architecture?

According to your comment: "..I am not sure if I explained myself properly. I am looking to build an Iphone app that can do searches by passing the search phrases to a remote server..."
You could just use the Java (or .NET) version of Lucene server side and pass the search query to the server from the phone in objective c
