It apparently worked, or at least 99% worked. It was still running this morning, so I cancelled it but it said it had indexed all but a few hundred posts (out of nearly 600 000). So, search may miss those posts (whatever they are), but I suspect they're particularly large or troublesome ones anyway and were probably causing the indexing to hang.
One current issue with the new search backend is that the minimum word length is now 4 characters, instead of 3. That isn't a huge deal, but means it won't search for some relevant terms, like 'cat' and 'dog'. I'll see if that can be fixed.
