Well, don't just brag. Write a blog post, publish a GitHub repo. Share it somehow.

Which one of these can you dump into JSON? Do you have references? Could be nice.

> Provide real-time text search over a large corpus (ie, some subset of Project Gutenburg, a bunch of product reviews, etc.) That would be nice. But have you looked at the PG export yet? It's a million of individual files in the sem

I love this one. I recognize myself in most of this (and linked) descriptions (GTD notebook, lol). Except for the bits I don't. But the thing is, the bits that do not reflect me are because I had life experiences that taught me the val

Try Sergei Lukyanenko (multiple spellings). Most of his works are not translated in English (German has many more), but at least the Night Watch and Day Watch are. They were both made into movies too, though the movies absolutely sucked com

Is the goal to compete with Lucene or with Solr/ElasticSearch layer as well? It was a little hard to tell from the samples if - for example - configuration is coded in (like in Lucene) or has externalized XML/REST interface (like

But what/where is the metadata? Is it functionally equivalent to the Gutenberg's info (e.g. in the RDF dump). Or something else? I was looking to write an alternative search for Gutenberg, based on the RDF dump, so would be happy

I'll be talking about Solr and custom search engines in Week 4 of the conference. Talk title: "Discover Your Inner Search Engine". If there is interest, I will also be talking about Solr vs. ElasticSearch in the interactive p

A couple of points: 1) The guy lists his activities with heavy focus on Rosetta Stone. To me that pretty much invalidates his claims on the spot. RS is not really well respected in language learning circles (at least a couple of years ago,

My first language is Russian. But I spent so long outside of Russian language and culture that my language of thought and speech is English. Not a citation, but a confirmative data point. Still, I feel that my English speech and thought lac

Thanks for the feedback. Currently, I am targeting people who already know what Solr is (otherwise they would not find the site). But that does not mean that the first page could not do an introduction with some pointers. I'll add that

I am working on popularizing Apache Solr search engine: http://www.solr-start.com/ . It's a couple of books, a website, a mailing list and a bunch of connected Open Source projects, all having the focus on making it ea

I like the search engines and discoverability. My own project - much, much smaller - is for embedding search into the Javadocs themselves (along with some SEO improvements, like iframes and better meta-info). The search is driven by Apache

Is there a good easy-to-use software/service that does that kind of alignment of accurate text transcript to audio/video? I used to have some links but the companies went out of business.

More specifically, it is what Solr would look like if you designed it today but also did not care about dealing with all the use cases Solr deals with TODAY. The best proof is that Elastic Search is slowly hitting the same problem Solr hit

I got it working the first time, so I guess it is not terribly confusing (for a developer). It does build all the versions of the document on each push, which I find makes it a bit slower for frequent check-in. The diff idea is interesting

The search itself does not look terribly exciting (search for Esperanto, the left category is a bit confusing without context). But a making-of blog article explaining the data structure and import process would be quite interesting. Is thi

People do interesting things on top of graph databases. I find Structr ( http://structr.org/ ) a very interesting approach to a rich CMS/WCM (based on Neo4j).

Never mind. Seems to have missed (hosted ES) point. I would make frankly make that (or at least Lucene mention) a selling point as opposed to a buried one. That way people who actually know what to look for in a search engine know what&#x27
