Recommend a Site Search Engine out of the box

Hi There:

I am a Perl-CGI web developer in a bad bind. I need a good site search engine that is ready to go out of the box (that is, no programming required, just set paths, choose features, design form appearnce, etc), for our major client. I have been looking for many weeks with no success. The program has to index PDF files and have a good selection of search features and results displays. Also, it needs to be able to run to separate instances on one domain as this is a bilingual website (English-French) and we need two separate indexing and searching processes. This search engine should be mature with a good track record and the bugs removed.

Any suggestions would be very gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Rudy

I don't know if Sphinx will do all you want, but it's somewhat popular.
