Hi Tim (switching to the more appropriate solr-user list) It's hard to tell and depends on thing like integration of search in the rest of the site, the placement of search field/form, the exposure, etc. The corpus/index does not sound large, but the mention of Windows scares me, as does 2GB of RAM (this won't be enough - your index is likely going to be too big to fit in RAM, causing a lot of disk IO).

Looking to use Solr as the PRIMARY search engine for our newspaper website. The index will initially hold between 200,000 - 500,000 documents. I'm not sure what analytic data you'd need to help me with my question, but I can tell you our website incurs roughly 4 million page views monthly and about 30,000 absolute unique visitors per month. Our website traffic is concentrated between 8am - 12noon so we have a lot of off-peak time on our server. I am currently trying SOLR out off of my dedicated Windows server (IIS 5) with Jetty. My server has 2GB Ram and tons of space. What is the likelyhood that this environment is "good enough" for my production environment? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Tim
