Hi, I'm very new to search engines in general. I've been using Zend_Search_Lucene PHP class before to try Lucene in general and though it surely works it's not what I'm looking for performance wise.
I recently installed Solr on a newly installed Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) machine. I have about 207k docs (currently, and I'm getting about 100k each month from now on) and that's why I decided to throw myself into something real for once. As I'm learning from today, I was wondering two main things. I'm using Jetty as the Java container, and PHP5 to handle the search- requests from an agent. If I start Solr using "java -jar start.jar" in the example directory, everything works fine. I even manage to populate the index with the example data as documented in the tutorials. How can I setup to run Solr as a service, so I don't need to have a SSH connection open? Sorry for being stupid here btw. I'm working to have a multi-langual search. So a company (doc) exists in say Poland, what design of scheme should I read/work on to be able to write Poland/Polen/Polska (Poland in different languages) and still hit the same results. I have the data from geonames.org for this, but I can't really grasp how I should be working the scheme.xml. The easiest solution would be to populate each document with each possible hit word, but this would give me a bunch of duplicates. Yours, Martin Iwanowski
