I know that Solr web-enables a Lucene index, but I'm trying to figure out what other things Solr offers over Lucene. On the Solr features list it says "Solr uses the Lucene search library and extends it!", but what exactly are the extensions from the list and what did Lucene give you? Also if I have an index built through Solr is there a non-HTTP way to search that index? Because solr4j essentially just makes HTTP requests correct?
Some features Im particularly interested in are: Geospatial Search Highlighting Dynamic Fields Near Real-Time Indexing Multiple Search Indices Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Benefits-of-Solr-over-Lucene-tp4039964.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
