I updated the plugin to 1.5.0.5 and still have the issue where the build just hangs. I have approximately 1000 posts and no more than 300 comments. The plugin definitely needs a status bar. Will retry once a later release includes this function.

I also had troubles building the index even after adjusting wpsearch folder permissions as suggested in the doco.
The indexing stage just seemed to hang (about one hour) – this screen requires status messages if possible.
Have uninstalled and reverted back to the search plugin I was using previously.

I was also having a similar issue
Resolved it by:
1) Disabling Gears for my website.
2) Deactivating the AskApache Password Protect Plugin.
3) Enabling Gears and doing a clean download of WP files into Gears cache.
4) Re-activating AskApache Plugin.

NB: The WP crew have done an excellent job with 2.6!!
