Hi Ted:
It is free for open source projects and non-profits. I looked at the
license agreement and
am not sure which parts limit re-distribution but if you can point it
out, sure
can take a look to make the needed changes. It is not open source though.
Regarding Lucene/Solr, the wiki has the schema and solrconfig used for
the tests,
see here: http://solr-ra.tgels.com/wiki/en/Demo
Lucene is very good and RankingAlgorithm builds on to this by making it
very easy
to get relevant and accurate results without much tuning, etc.
Regards,

To be clear, the software may be free (as in beer), but it is not open (as
in open source). It doesn't appear that there is source available, there is
a mention of a patent and there is a license that precludes redistribution.
It also isn't clear that lucene/solr wouldn't perform just as well with a
slight bit of tuning.
