Hello Solr people, I work for Prism Business Media (http://prismb2b.com), a business-to-business magazine publishing company that has 70 or so websites (I haven't counted lately).
We have been looking for a new search server (to replace Thunderstone) and to extend our capabilities in searching across our various content repositories. We also think faceted browsing is very cool and have a couple of applications in mind already. I've played around with Solr enough to see that it is a very strong candidate. Now I'm trying to identify Solr experts who could help us with a pilot project. We do have programmers on staff (including me), and we develop many of our own applications, but we are interested in outside help for several reasons: - We've got a project with a good business case that justifies spending some bucks to get into production faster. - We prefer open-source technology, in fact Thunderstone is our only closed application. But it makes management feel more secure when there is some level of commercial support available. - We're not Java coders (we are a Python-PHP-Perl shop, but willing to learn); and it's quite likely we'll need a custom module or two. - We could use some help building our in-house expertise. Any discussion or advice appreciated. Please feel free to reply on-list or off-list as you prefer.
