A year in the making since the previous release, Solr is a Java-based and of course, open source. Its makers say that it is every bit as good, and possibly better, than commercial enterprise search options like the Google Search Appliance. And it comes with that delightful open source price, free. Commercial support for Solr is available from a company called Lucid Imagination. Google Subnet blogger Julie Bort met with Erik Hatcher, a leading Solr developer to discuss Solr 1.4. The two also discussed why Erik thinks open source has the edge over proprietary search technologies such as Google. Visit the Google Subnet blog for Julie's take on Solr 1.4 and its chances against Google.
