I'm looking for advice on selecting a search application. I'm responsible for developing a new search platform for use in a historical research organization and museum. I've pretty much decided on Lucene as the library for custom servlet apps that would use the Lucene API directly.

At the same time, we have a number of application ideas that could probably use a flexible/customizable off-the-shelf crawling application. For starters, it would be pretty basic stuff like indexing PDF files using some library, returning links that have been translated to point to a Tomcat virtual directory containing the files. But our apps could quickly get more complex as we think of new search ideas.

I'm having a hard time comparing and contrasting Nutch, Solr, and Red-piranha. I would appreciate anyone offering your ideas or experiences about which of these (or any other comprehensive search solutions) are good for which types of applications. TIA!
