Reformatted excerpts from Tomas Pospisek ML's message of 2008-11-01:

Not AFAIK. There are a couple indexing options with Ruby bindings:
Sphinx, Xapian, Solr, and HyperEstraier, off the top of my head. When I
last looked, they all had their problems: Sphinx requires a daemon, is
overly tied to databases, and has no incremental indexing, Xapian is
confusing and doesn't seem to support document fields, Solr is Java,
HyperEstraier doesn't seem to have anyone using it, etc.

I'd love for someone to do this! Ferret has the best API and document
model, by far, of any of the alternatives.
