Lucene is a standard for indexing, Apache Lucene is the Java implementation of Lucene, Zend_Search_Lucene is the PHP implementation of Lucene. You can implement Lucene is any language if you follow the standard.
Solr acts as a server like interface to Lucene, there are many ways of actually accessing it, but yes Zend_Http_Client is one way. 2008/11/8 till <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Just a general question, but the little I know about both projects, it > looks like Solr builds on Lucene as well.
