I'm not familiar with it, and don't want to spend the time to give a
knowledgeable answer, but ...

I suspect that catalogs do much the same thing.  But perhaps Whoosh is
better in some way. IDK.  You should learn a bit about catalogs before
deciding to pursue integrating Whoosh. Catalogs provide pluggable APIs for
integrating various kinds of indexes. It might be easiest to integrate
Whoosh as a catalog index.

By far the hardest issue in all of this, IMO, is the indexing strategy.
