Need a Solr Primer

August 15, 2010

You know about Apache Solr, right? ‘Introduction to Apache Solr’ is a great demo for this open-source search wunderkind. The video, titled “Introduction to Apache Solr,” explains how queries are parsed, how facets increase findability, and how to interact with Solr. All of which are a snap.

Things really heat up when you enable Lucene faceting queries. Faceting is already being widely used in e-commerce and in libraries. Using Apache Solr, you can search within categories, modify your searches by range fields, and filter results using multiple parameters in single queries.

We’re impressed. Solr is a useful, user-friendly open-source search engine with an austere present and a wide-open future. You can download Lucene/Solr from www.lucidimagination.com.
