Thanks Tim.  Yes, the results are transformed with xslt in the .net page
after getting the response xml back from the handler.  So, SOLR is called
via http from the very light .net page.  Besides the transform, SOLR does
all of the work with the help of some of my custom classes that utilizes a
generated xml config file that has category to facet to query item type
mappings.

  I did a search and noticed pages were executed through aspx. Are you using
.net to parse the xml results from SOLR? Nice site, just trying to figure
out where SOLR fits into this.

    I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the creation of solr.  I've
been
    using it for a while now and I have recently brought one of my side
projects
    online.  I have several other projects that will be using solr for it's
    search and facets.

    Please check out www.pricejunkie.com and let us know what you think..

    The site is very basic right now and many new and useful features plus
    merchants and product categories will be coming soon!  I thought it
would be
    a good idea to at least have a few people use it to get some feedback
early
    and often.

    Some of the nice things behind the scenes that we did with solr:
    - created custom request handlers that have category to facet to
attribute
    caching built in
    - category to facet management
            - ability to manage facet groups (attributes within a set facet)
and assign
    them to categories
            - ability to create any category structure and share facet
groups

    - facet inheritance for any category (a facet group can be defined on a
    parent category and pushed down to all children)
    - ability to create sub-categories as facets instead of normal sub
    categories
    - simple xml configuration for the final outputted category
configuration
    file


    I'm sure there are more cool things but that is all for now.  Join the
    mailing list to see more improvements in the future.

    Also.. how do I get added to the Using Solr wiki page?


    Thanks,
    Mike Austin
