We launched our Solr powered search a few weeks ago and have finished
up most of the tweaking. Would love feedback from the collective
wisdom of this crowd if anyone is willing.
Visit our site at http://www.vanns.com and use the search box at the
top of the page.
Also, for those who have a desire to think a bit different on how to
integrate search context into other perspectives, we used cxf to
create a web service on top of our Solr search and expose More Like
This items in our item pages. You can see this by hitting any item
page. It works very well with core products like digital cameras for
example, we have work to do with some types of accessories.
A good example of an item page with suggested items powered by Solr:

Let me know what you think and if you can inspire us to improve or
adapt more ideas to our site.
Solr rocks! Thank you to all the contributors -- owning our site
search has been a dream of mine for 8 years.
