Thanks to both Roy and Bess, and anyone else who posts after I write this. I'll definitely have to look into nutch. Just to state my needs a little more clearly, I'm trying to keep our applications contained to Java and PHP solutions, if possible, as our machines are already configured to utilize those platforms. --- David Cloutman <[log in to unmask]> Electronic Services Librarian Marin County Free Library -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bess Sadler Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 4:19 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Solr for Internal Searching Hi, David. I think solr is great, and I use it all the time and can highly recommend it. However, if what you have is mostly HTML pages, you might want to consider nutch (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch) instead. Both solr and nutch are based on lucene, but nutch will give you more built-in tools for crawling your website. Use the right tool for the job and all that. :) Bess On 5-Aug-08, at 7:03 PM, Cloutman, David wrote: > Today my boss asked me to come up with a solution that would let us > index and search our intranet.
