Thanks for the hint. 
I found this on wikipedia under "Installing Lucene search"
"Lucene is a library that can be used to construct full-text search engines.
One of such search engine was written by Kate Turner in about 2005 to
improve the searching functionality of MediaWiki-based wikis. This original
search engine was written in Java. Later, the search engine was ported to C#
by Brion Vibber"

Unfortunately the link to the source code is not working:
