There's a project out there called LIRE (I heard about it on this list) that's supposed to create a lucene-based CIBR index for images. I wonder if this could be integrated with Solr? Personally I don't really care about the flower part, I'm more worried about searching whether the flower is red... we have good object keywording but not good color keywording - and color is so much more subjective too, red can mean a lot of things. I'm already working on testing it separately but it sure would be more useful if the scoring could be integrated with the rest of the search index.
