Mainly i will cite that it is open source which allows for nearly
limitless
flexibility. Indexing and searching can be crafted to your application.
Outside of that, check out the lucene website (posted earlier) for a
breakdown of what Lucene can do.
I have found the following to be true of lucene and not necessarily with
Verity:
* Free/open source
* Limitless indexed entities
* Cross-platform compatibility
* Full control over searching and indexing
* Index portablility (can create an index anywhere and use it anywhere -
web,cdrom,locally,etc)
Verity is very flexible, i just happen to happen to enjoy the level of
control and portability of Lucene over it. Use whatever works for you
and
your applications, though.. I prefer to have an engine that works with
my
application, rather than an application that works with my search
engine.
I do urge anyone interested to draw their own conclusions based on their
experiences :)
