Any CIO/CTO looking to enhance search should have Solr on their list of search engines to evaluate. It's got the simplicity of a well engineered open source solution (as well as a great price tag!), but also the sophisticated features to go head to head with the commercial guys like FAST and Endeca. Probably the biggest lack is GUI style management tools, and that is changing with the recent incubation of the Lucene Connector Framework. Of course, in the nature of full disclosure, I did drink the Red Bull, being one of the authors of the first book on Solr: Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search! What's interesting is that Lucene and Solr look to be the gateway technology for more organizations to start apply semantic web and machine learning ideas with tools like Hadoop, Mahout, Droids, and the like!
