Wow.
Those sound like some really great features, ones that I'd also love
to use!
What do we need to do to convince you to put them in the SOLR repo?

Very nice and really fast, congrats!
Are you willing to provide the mentioned features to solr users?
I think espacially the category to facet management (facet groups)
is really useful...
It would be very nice to have this problem solved once... :)
Cheers,
Martin

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the creation of solr.
I've been
using it for a while now and I have recently brought one of my
side projects
online. I have several other projects that will be using solr for
it's
search and facets.
Please check out www.pricejunkie.com and let us know what you
think.. You
can give feedback and/or sign up on the mailing list for future
updates.
The site is very basic right now and many new and useful features
plus
merchants and product categories will be coming soon! I thought
it would be
a good idea to at least have a few people use it to get some
feedback early
and often.
Some of the nice things behind the scenes that we did with solr:
- created custom request handlers that have category to facet to
attribute
caching built in
- category to facet management
- ability to manage facet groups (attributes within a set facet)
and assign
them to categories
- ability to create any category structure and share facet groups
- facet inheritance for any category (a facet group can be defined
on a
parent category and pushed down to all children)
- ability to create sub-categories as facets instead of normal sub
categories
- simple xml configuration for the final outputted category
configuration
file
I'm sure there are more cool things but that is all for now. Join
the
mailing list to see more improvements in the future.
Also.. how do I get added to the Using Solr wiki page?
Thanks,
Mike Austin
