Solr 1.1 is the first release of this Lucene-based search server.

See the tutorial, the resources page or (shameless plug ahead) my xml.com article to learn more about this great tool. Solr is already used in many places for some serious indexing.

Last Wednesday we demoed the Solr-based indexing in our current project, and as someone put it, it seems like the search results arrive before the submit button bounces back up.

Can you tell I'm a bit enthusiastic?
