My project is looking to index 10s of millions of documents, providing
search across a live-live environment (hence index
distribution/replication is important). Most searches have to be done
(ie to end user) in 5 seconds or less. The index has about 30 fields,
and I reckon that the security access I alluded to can be solved with
field-specific queries (as opposed to a single copyFielded text
field).

The searches are very simple, but need to be quick. The "confidence"
in the information is important, and so scoring is value. Faceted
searches have a place too.

Autonomy seems to have a solid security/access control model but
offers nothing above and beyond Solr, unless I am missing something.

Dunno if that helps?
