Site search powered by Solr

Key: MAHOUT-120
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-120
Project: Mahout
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
Assignee: Grant Ingersoll
Priority: Minor
Attachments: MAHOUT-120.patch
For a number of years now, the Lucene community has been criticized for not
eating our own "dog food" when it comes to search. My company has built and
hosts a site search (http://www.lucidimagination.com/search) that is powered by
Apache Solr and Lucene and we'd like to donate it's use to the Lucene
community. Additionally, it allows one to search all of the Mahout content
from a single place, including web, wiki, JIRA and mail archives. See also

A preview of the site is available at

Lucid has a fault tolerant setup with replication and fail over as well as
monitoring services in place. We are committed to maintaining and expanding
the search capabilities on the site.
The following patch adds a skin to the Forrest site that enables the Mahout
site to search Mahout only content using Lucene/Solr. When a search is
submitted, it automatically selects the Mahout facet such that only Mahout
content is searched. From there, users can then narrow/broaden their search
criteria.
I'm submitting this patch to Mahout first, as we'd like to roll out our
capabilities to some of the smaller communities first and then broaden to the
rest of the Lucene ecosystem.
I plan on committing in a 3 or 4 days.
