Developers and dev managers at companies doing build vs. buy decisions regarding whether they will do one of the following: 1) pay big bucks to get FAST or whatever 2) use Solr (free/cheap!) 3) pay [variable] bucks to build their own with Lucene 4) pay [variable but high] to build their own from scratch I'm not concerned with casual downloaders. I'm talking about the companies and people who may or may not be interested in making multi-million dollar decisions regarding using or not using Lucene or Solr. -jake
