Hi, David.

I think solr is great, and I use it all the time and can highly recommend it. However, if what you have is mostly HTML pages, you might want to consider nutch (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch) instead.

Both solr and nutch are based on lucene, but nutch will give you more built-in tools for crawling your website. Use the right tool for the job and all that. :)

Today my boss asked me to come up with a solution that would let us
index and search our intranet. I was already thinking of using Solr on
our public Web site we are building, and thought this might be a good
opportunity to knock two items off the to-do list with the same
technology. I know there was a preconference session on Solr this year,
and I have the sense that this is gaining traction in the library
community. Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?

Thanks,

- David
