I've never seen Solr, but now that I have, it looks interesting. If someone is looking for a search where U2 is one of a number of sources, then Solr has value. If someone is looking for a pure MV search then a U2/Solr interface would probably be overkill. To create a remote query API for U2, it's pretty simple to create a REST/QueryString query interface using native syntax, with results wrapped in JSON or XML. Off the top of my head: http://myserver/query?SELECT+CUSTS+WITH+STATE+%22CA%22 Or for a more RESTful but as yet impractical API: http://myserver/select/CUSTS/STATE/CA Is that the kind of thing that's on your mind, Symeon?
