Definitely start with Solr unless you have some specialized use case. Lucene skills can come up in a Solr context (ie if you wanted to write plugins)
I would also recommend: - Solr in Action - Lucene in Action (out of date, but many concepts still valid) - Apache Solr Ref Guide ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Apache+Solr+Reference+Guide ) - Solr Start (http://www.solr-start.com/) - Relevant Search (I wrote this book, email me directly for a discount code) Slightly shameless plug. What might help you is I basically give anyone a free hour of my time for consulting, so hit me up and I'd be happy to walk you through some basics/ideas on getting started http://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2016/08/01/search-for-lunch/ Best -Doug On Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 8:04 PM Bina N Shah <bns...@salud.unm.edu> wrote: > Good Afternoon, > > > > My name is Bina Shah and I work for University of New Mexico Hospitals, > non-profit organization. > > > > We are considering ways to implement Search Engine for our static intranet > pages.
