Mango Thrives in the Warmth of Solr
September 2, 2010
Mango library catalog helps to search libraries for the particular book, video, CD, or an ISBN, ISSN, and call number using criteria’s like keywords, title, author, location, et cetera. The Mango statistics measure the end user’s interaction with the Web browser, e.g. text messaging, using the folders, or searching for articles. The Florida Center for Library Automation web site news “Mango is now Solr-Powered!” states that the Mango catalogs will now run on the production servers and use the Solr software.
The news reveals a new term ‘Solango’ that is described as “the combination of the Mango discovery interface with the open source Solr indexing software published by the Apache Software Foundation”. It will replace the Endeca software and become a fully independent discovery platform, which will be able to ingest numerous data sources with no record limits, providing a new powerful open source-indexing, facet, and search engine for Mango.
Open source could put more of a squeeze on already strapped library vendors.
