Anyone working on port or bindings for Lucene (cLucene or Lucy)? Is
there another search technology that works with Go?

Your best bet might be to try out one of these:

Solr: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/features.html
ElasticSearch: http://www.elasticsearch.com/

Both have HTTP-based interfaces, so all you'd need from Go really are
the http and json or xml packages.

Hope that helps.

The index/suffixarray package could be useful: "The suffixarray
package implements substring search in logarithmic time using an in-
memory suffix array." [1]

You might also want to take a look at godoc sources, it implements
full-text search of the Go source tree. The relevant file is index.go
