New Stuff in Lucene and Solr
Some good new stuff happening in Lucene and Solr. For starters, Local Lucene and Local Solr are in various stages of committing, thanks to Ryan McKinley and Patrick O’Leary, amongst others. What does this mean? You can use Lucene to search for things in an area (i.e. find local coffee shops)
Next up, we’ve added Uwe Schindler as a contrib committer, thanks to his work on the TrieRangeQuery code, which should make running range queries on numerical fields much faster. See http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/SearchNumericalFields for more details.
Both of these should make there way into Solr as well.
I have just started looking into Lucene and it does look a very good software for searching. I am planning to learn Solr but I was wondering if there is a .NET version of Solr available somewhere.
