Stephen Green, Minion developer at Sun, whose posts comparing Minion and Lucene were recently mentioned on the solr-user mailing list[1], has similar ideas. From <http://blogs.sun.com/searchguy/entry/minion_and_lucene_performance>: I think it would be a good idea for all of the open source engines to get together, find a nice open document collection (the Apache mailing list archives and their associated searches?) and build a nice set of regression tests and some pooled relevance sets so that we can test retrieval performance without having to rely on the TREC data.
