We've been using it since I realized we could not get the Lucene queries we wanted out of the Nutch OpenSearch SE. Solr also integrates a lot better with back end development as it outputs in JSON, XML and Python. It's even more valuable with Sami's SolrIndexer patch that he has on his blog-- Nutch indexing now goes straight to Solr. It's very fast and so far robust -- I've lazily crawled 600K pages on a single CPU (with stored content!) in the past few days after integrating Sami's stuff with no obvious problems yet. From what I can tell, you lose some of the advanced Nutch scoring features. We get the document boost (Sami, I owe you a patch) but that's about it. The Nutch SE is also a great "Google in a Box" setup for people that want that. For that reason I am not so sure Solr should replace Nutch's SE. Solr is more useful for people that want to do something programatically or queries more complex than "AND" with the Nutch. There's no search front end in Solr other than the admin interface. Would love to see Sami's patch in trunk as an indexing plugin, though. -Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
