Wikipedia seems to be better now. Thank you, Peaceray. Honestly, though, by the numbers, I think the comment was correct. Elasticsearch has a much smoother on-ramp for IT developers, but it is much harder to customize relevancy and integrate with BigData pipelines. IT developers are the big voters here.
Now, Google will simply index this thread, and then show different rich snippets to all of us here... -----Original Message----- From: Vincenzo D'Amore [mailto:v.dam...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2017 10:37 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: "What is Solr" in Google search results Hi Rick, right, I've already tried to correct the wikipedia page, to be honest, I've just removed the sentence "Solr is the second-most... etc." But my change has been discarded because I missed to add a valid motivation. Anyway, not sure I'm the most representative person to discuss this in the wikipedia talk page :) but I'll try to do whatever I can And just to share with you my thought, my principal motivation is that even if DB Engines has a proven accuracy, the sentence in question has not be considered so relevant to explain what is Solr. For sure, it should be used as first one. On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 5:53 AM, Rick Leir <rl...@leirtech.com> wrote: > Vincenzo, > This is a discussion for the wikipedia 'talk' page.
