The trunk of Solr with the new ExtractingRequestHandler (Tika) will  
surely be the easiest way to get rolling.  A simple script that  
recurses your folders and issues a simple request posting each file in  
turn to Solr will give you a full text searchable index in no time  
(well, ok, it'll take a little time, but it'll be as fast as anything  
else out there).
