At UMich, we use space on a Google Appliance as our site search
(different setups for internal vs. public pages) and have been pretty
happy. I've been able to abuse the "google ads" space to our benefit
-- e.g., go to http://lib.umich.edu/ and search "Web Pages" for "grad"

I know this is code4lib, not buystuff4lib, but the Google Mini is
reputed to be rather quick, bulletproof and configurable, and starts
at $3k. For example, it works nicely with lots of file formats
(including Office documents) out of the box. And works with LDAP and
NTLM for authentication and auth
The nice thing about nutch is that it exposes an OpenSearch interface.
So you can write your search-y webapps in any language that can speak

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

Today my boss asked me to come up with a solution that would let us
index and search our intranet. I was already thinking of using Solr on
our public Web site we are building, and thought this might be a good
opportunity to knock two items off the to-do list with the same
technology. I know there w
