Zend_Search_Lucene is the first PHP port of the Lucene search and indexing library. A component of the Zend Framework, it allows you to easily index and search full-text indexes in better performance than many other solutions. The slides are a technical intro and basic tutorial to Zend_Search_Lucene. They were presented by me at several PHP conferences, including Zend/PHP Conferece 2007 at San Francisco CA, and International PHP Conference Spring Edition 2007 in Stuttgart, Germany.
