Miles Kehoe: A paradigm shift in enterprise search

Miles Kehoe at Enterprise Search – A paradigm shift in enterprise search:

“Solr is the enterprise search market now. […] What's interesting is the number of commercial products based on Solr and it's underlying platform, Lucene.

Years ago, commercial search software was the 'safe choice'. Now I think things have changed: open source search is the safe choice for companies where search is mission.”

I fully agree. We bet on Solr’s success years ago (see the 2009 blog post) and it was absolutely the right choice.
