Good search services for a PHP (CodeIgniter) based job board?

Question

Does anyone know any good 3rd party license based or open source search services (like Yahoo BOSS) that index and search through content?

I'm creating a niche job board in CodeIgniter and I'd rather not have my search be in PHP.

I'd like the service to be customizable enough to support refining content, and location based searching. So a really closed tool might not be the right fit.
