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. :)
