UPDATE: obsolete

Cloudant announced search support lucene style in their couchdb based database ( Bigcouch) . It’s still in beta and supposingly
only available to paid accounts but for me it worked too on my free account if I added the following design view in my databases:

{
“_id”: “_design/lucene”,
“_rev”: “1-1e5cdef276956e4bde8cb2f494ac3aa7”,
“language”: “java”,
“views”: {
“index”: {
“map”: {
“classname”: “com.cloudant.indexers.TextAndNumberSearch”
},
“reduce”: “_count”
}
}
}
