Well, i think there will be a lot of people who will be very happy with this C# client.
grts,m "Jeff Rodenburg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 31/03/2007 18:00 Please respond to solr-user@lucene.apache.org To solr-user@lucene.apache.org cc Subject C# API for Solr We built our first search system architecture around Lucene.Net back in 2005 and continued to make modifications through 2006. We quickly learned that search management is so much more than query algorithms and indexing choices. We were not readily prepared for the operational overhead that our Lucene-based search required: always-on availability, fast response times, batch and real-time updates, etc. Fast forward to 2007. Our front-end is Microsoft-based, but we needed to support parallel development on non-Microsoft architecture, and thus needed a cross-platform search system. Hello Solr! We've transitioned our search system to Solr with a Linux/Tomcat back-end, and it's been a champ. We now use solr not only for standard keyword search, but also to drive queries for lots of different content sections on our site. Solr has moved beyond mission critical in our operation. As we've proceeded, we've built out a nice C# client library to abstract the interaction from C# to Solr. It's mostly generic and designed for extensibilty. With a few modifications, this could be a stand-alone library that works for others. I have clearance from the organization to contribute our library to the community if there's interest. I'd first like to gauge the interest of everyone before doing so; please reply if you do. cheers, jeff r.
