Solr Resources

Following are resources to help you with Lucene and Solr:

• Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform.
• Apache Solr is the popular, blazing fast open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling. Solr is highly scalable, providing distributed search and index replication.
• Lucene Revolution is a conference dedicated to open source search. The conference brings together developers, thought leaders, and market makers, and is an event tailored for anyone that is using, or considering, Apache Solr or Lucidworks Fusion for search applications.
