Lucene / Solr

Powerful search technology for your business

The rapid retrieval of relevant information from various internal and external sources is a growing challenge for companies and organizations. The out­standing capabilities of the Apache Lucene and Solr search technologies are an attractive alternative to proprietary enterprise search solutions to meet this in­creas­ing need.

While Lucene implemented core search technologies in the form of JAVA libraries, they also used Solr as a Lucene-based enterprise search server. These solutions complement one another and offer similar basic features: high speed, accuracy, scalability and resource efficiency.

Special features of the Solr server include:

• Highlighting of search results
• Facet Search
• Data base Integration
• Caching
• Replication
• Web Services
• Administration tools for configuration
• Logging
