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.

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 ...

Great document db+ search store

A fairly solid search platform built on Lucene.

What do you like best? Solr is built on top of Apache Lucene, which is a trusted search indexing platform. What do you dislike?

General content indexing for recipes, articles, news postings, log data, reporting.
