Here is at yellopages/rus (yell.ru) we switch from FAST to Lucene. I am HAPPY about it. Sometimes FAST was a nightmare to work with. Non-working features, obscure bugs, thousands of non-documented settings, slow, lazy and dumb techsupport... Not mention it's ridiculous price and very limiting license (you are limited with a fixed number of queries/sec). And yes, if you want to do something not completely trivial, you have to cont(r)act FAST solution department and buy the solution.
