A Simple, Yet Capable Search Platform

What do you like best? Solr is a fairly straight forward product, that does what ti's supposed to with minimal maintenance.

We are on an older version of Solr, so most of my dislikes around the clunkiness of the UI has been fixed in newer versions as far as I can tell.

Solr search

What do you like best? It works, it's fast and very stable. It's on top of Lucene which is pretty much the only open source solid search software available. SOLR is tied in with some hadoop distributions. It works and once you understand SOLR and LUCENE you are good. What do you dislike? Between Solr and ElasticSearch, there is a constant struggle to pick the best one. ElasticSearch is part of ELK and ties in well with LogStash and Kibana which makes it great for logs and big data ...
