I once built a Japanese-capable search function using Lucene[1], and
ChaSen [2] to analyze / tokenize the Japanese inputs. It was rather a
nasty hack involving embedding Java in Perl, but functioned pretty
well for a couple of days work. I think there's an addon CJK analyzer
/ tokenizer for Lucene but don't know how well it works [3].

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I thought it might be
worth mentioning.
