What are the fastest full-text search algorithms/APIs (open source or commercial)?

Are there any silver bullets out there for searching medium sized amounts of text data (hundreds of gigabytes)? Don't really care if it's commercial or open source. I should add that I need it to be C++ or C based.

Solr could also be an option. This is also a Lucene based engine.

Apache Lucene is a commonly used indexing engine, not sure if it qualifies as a silver bullet or not. I've seen this combined with Carrot2 for clustering and search of the index.
