It looks like searchify is a hosted search solution, whereas Solr and ElasticSearch are distributions of search servers that can be deployed on your own hardware.
- nzadrozny 14y agoTechnically Searchify is based on the open-sourced code from the previously proprietary IndexTank. So in theory you can run your own: https://github.com/linkedin/indextank-engine https://github.com/linkedin/indextank-engine. I'm skeptical about claims of different quality of relevancy results, since IndexTank/Searchify is also based on Lucene (looks like 3.0.1 in the canonical repo), and should share all the same fundamental relevancy and scoring functionality.
- hajrice 14y agoYep, but hosting it is a pain. It's actually heavily tweaked (this is what the IndexTank team has told me), and apparently contains components of Solr
- nzadrozny 14y agoThere are hosted services for Solr and ElasticSearch, too. Such as fizx's and my own http://websolr.com http://websolr.com and http://bonsai.io http://bonsai.io
