Does anyone know of a hosted full text search solution with an api for  
indexing arbitrary data? I’ve seen lots of stuff for web indexing, but  
that’s all I can find.

Though it’s not managed, you could look into using CouchDB. It offers a  
simple RESTful API for storing arbitrary data and integrates with Lucene  
for providing full-text searching.

It’s easy to get the server up and running.
