I know this is code4lib, not buystuff4lib, but the Google Mini is reputed to be rather quick, bulletproof and configurable, and starts at $3k. For example, it works nicely with lots of file formats (including Office documents) out of the box. And works with LDAP and NTLM for authentication and authorization. I suspect it'll probably be challenging to deliver a quality search solution for a lower total cost. Of course, this all depends on what your intranet looks like on the inside. I've seen 'intranet' mean a things that would call for wildly different search solutions. So... solr is great, but this question doesn't contain nearly enough information to answer whether it's a good fit for your task at hand.
