Thanks, everyone who replied -- you all have been helpful. I'll try
tweaking the memory size first before trying new search engines.

You may want to check how much memory is allocated to the JVM that is
running the search service. You can increase the memory allocated in
the config file (the maxheap size), which will alleviate some of the
symptoms of the problem.

At a previous job, we moved from Lucerne to elasticsearch, which
really well. It did index the contents of PDFs and other files
also. Hope this helps

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my original email. :-)
Indexing is no problem, but searches sometimes are a problem.
A search would come back quickly, and the other times, it
doesn't. According to the logs, threads would get stuck in a
waiting state after executing the cfsearch statement. I think
this happens if there are several people trying to run
searches at the same time.

Hi Angeli,
Solr may just need a little tweaking. Do you know why it's
hanging, or when? Is it during queries or indexing?
Anything interesting in the logs? It may need more memory,
or there could be an issue reading some files that you're
indexing. I'd check into the logs to see why Solr is
struggling before undertaking a retrofit of the search
engine, it might save you a lot of time and resources, and
Solr is already one of the most popular enterprise search
engines.
If you're certain you want to change search engines, you
could (relatively) easily use any one with a java client
library or web services/REST-based API. Elasticsearch is
popular. It's based on Lucene just like Solr is though. :)
Hope this helps.
Take Care,
Seth

Good afternoon, folks.
I'm wondering if anyone have has problems with searching
via <cfsearch>
and Soir on ColdFusion 11? One client I work for has
about 1,000 PDF
files (some dozens pf pages long) indexed nightly. Daily,
an average of
about 1,000 searches would be run through the collection,
some just
single words, and some phrases, some using "or".
Sometimes, the Soir
search engine would slow down and get hung up, and
occasionally we have
to bounce Coldfusion's Add-On service. We didn't have
this kind of
problem when we were using Verity on an older version of
ColdFusion. Is
Soir normally this flakey?
Also, are there any alternatives to Soir? What about
Lucene... can it
index PDF files?
Thanks,
Angeli Wahlstedt
