I think solr is great, and I use it all the time and can highly

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
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
HTTP and XML, which both Java and PHP should be able to handle. In

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
