Hi, David.
I think solr is great, and I use it all the time and can highly
recommend it. However, if what you have is mostly HTML pages, you
might want to consider nutch (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch) instead.
Both solr and nutch are based on lucene, but nutch will give you more
of mapping we're doing and the hardware it's running on?
