All the variants of Swish and Namazu are general full-text search
engines. From what I know Namazu:

     http://namazu.org/index.html.en

is lighter than Swish on resources and faster to index. It also comes
with an Emacs frontend to search any Namazu db.

Mairix:

     http://www.rpcurnow.force9.co.uk/mairix/   

however is designed for just emails. It's indexing is very fast and
light on resources.
