I played around with Sphinx a little bit since that's apparently the hot
shit nowadays, but had a similar experience---the combination of having
to feed everything to it in XML, manually manage the incremental
indexes, and deal with a remote server that would take 1-2 seconds to
pick up changes was hellish. I was not motivated to continue.
So I still think Ferret is the best search engine for Ruby apps, despite
being unmaintained and highly thread-unsafe.

Glad to hear it. I'm definitely interested in whether it holds up.
