NO!
Sorry, not correct. I'll state it again and this time with nothing
else so it's clear:
Product searching in OFBiz does NOT use Lucene.
Please keep researching, and then feel free to continue this discussion.

Ah, yes indeed.
Sorry, about my mumbling today. To be a tiny bit more specific. I am
of
course only referring to the indexed product search. I know that
Solr is
based on Lucene and that both use a similar way of indexing new listed
products (that is by adding, updating,removing new entities from/to
the
index through XML files).
From as much as I understand, Lucene is the main search engine used
within
OFBiz (I hope we are NOT relying on cached Mysql-native Fulltext
Queries
here). New Products are added to or removed from the IndexTree
through a xml
script (just as they would in Solr). Lucene then provides the rest
of the
OFBiz environment with a regular search mechanism, as well as ranked
indexing, sorting and yadayadayada.
Lucene however, does not allow advanced Facetting, nor is it a
standalone
application. Both of these advantages are something that Solr
provides.
Therefore it would be great if one could easily switch both search
engines...

It sounds like you are talking specifically about the product
searching, but please be explicit about the type of data you'd like
to
search.
If it is about product searching then please do more research because
that does not use Lucene.
Also, in what was is Lucene "proprietary" or in other words, how is
solr less proprietary than Lucene? Sorry, that commented just sounded
really funny.

Hi,
I was curious whether it would be possible to replace the
proprietary Lucene
engine with solr ( http://apache.org/solr www.apache.org/solr ). The
question I am asking is because that could increase the overall
performance
and also allow the fancy facetting.
So in case it is possible (it should be: solr is based on lucene):
how are
products/catalogs added to lucene right now? is lucene running on a
certain
port? if so, would it be possible to simply switch ports?
Cheers,
Paul
