Something that we're looking at doing for the next version of our Examine framework (http://examine.codeplex.com/ which is a wrapper for Lucene.Net that uses configuration for indexing) will be having a REST API. It wont be a true SOLR port but more of taking some of the ideas of SOLR and putting them into a .NET project.
Let me know if anyone is interested :) Aaron Powell Umbraco Ninja http://www.aaron-powell.com | http://twitter.com/slace | Skype: aaron.l.powell | MSN: [email protected] On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 4:41 AM, Prescott Nasser <[email protected]>wrote: > I'd be interested, but I want to see Lucene.Net pass the hurdles currently > in their path first.
