I've had some experience running production search systems, and have used ht://dig in the past. We had to drop the use of ht://dig because it did not scale to the uses we wanted. After searching for awhile, and trying out different engines, we found Swish-E.
After using Swish-E for a week, I found it to be much better and easier to use than ht://dig. Also much faster, scales better, better interfaces, and more flexible for indexing and search in different uses. Also Swish-E is undergoing faster dev. than ht://dig (which has been stuck at 3.2.0beta for many years now).
Really by this point, and for the past two years or so, everyone should have dropped the use of ht://dig in preference for Swish-E. Take a look at it, try it, you will like it:

ht://dig should be dropped, use Swish-E instead
