Hello, Omri- Yes, Lucene is able to index practically any type of content, including databases. In order to do this, you need to have a way to represent the records in your database as "documents" to Lucene. I highly recommend Lucene in Action (http://www.manning.com/hatcher2/) as a learning resource.
Solr is basically an Enterprise-ready package of Lucene; it delivers a presentation layer and an index management engine. Incidentally, there's not a .NET port of it yet; it's written in Java.

We want to create an indexing service that will index data that we hold in our database, files in file server and perform the search using our UI. Does lucene.net is good enough for this task? What are the differences between lucene.net + contrib and Solar?
