TBH i am not entirely sure what is on my mind - we have developed our own search technology which is highly specialised and specific to certain topics/taxonimoies (travel being one) and that has quite a lot of complexity, complexity i don't think solr has out of the box, however we are encountering much more dumbed down taxonomies where solr would be ideal - but we need to have it integrated to use our data sets we already have in u2 and to have the ability if required to use our unibasic code for the more complex taxonomy specific requests.
So I think initially I want solr to work of a u2 data store and for .net to query solr -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: 23 April 2010 16:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] solr > From:Symeon Breen > Just a quick ping to see if anyone in the group has > ever used solr (the apache opensource search platform) > or more importantly integrated into solr as either the > front or backend from u2 or even .net ? 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?
