What search backend does meta.osqa use?

I have some issues with mysqlfulltext search, so i'm interested what backend does meta.osqa.net use for similar questions and main search? Do you use fulltext search provided by the DB? (which db?) or something customized?

meta.osqa.net uses PostgreSQL for our database, and I believe we are currently using postgres full-text search. In our Qato product we use a Lucene/Solr full-text search strategy with excellent results.

How does Lucene/Solr work with OSQA? Or is it available?

DZone does not provide any support for Lucene/Solr in OSQA at this time.
