I really hope that an application like SearchBlox/Zilverline can be created as part of the Lucene project itself, replacing the sad demos that currently ship with Lucene. I've got so many things on my plate that I don't foresee myself getting to this as soon as I'd like, but I would most definitely support and contribute what time I could to such an effort. If the web UI used Tapestry, I'd be very inclined to dig in hardcore to it. Any other web UI technology would likely turn me off. One of these days I'll Tapestry-ify Nutch just for grins and submit it as a replacement for the JSPs.
And I'm even more sold on it if Mac Mini's are involved! :)

This reminds me, has anyone every discussed something similar:
- rackmount server ( or for coolness factor, that mini mac) - web i/f for config/control
- of course the server would have the following s/w: -- web server -- lucene / nutch
Part of the work here I think is having a decent web i/f to configure the thing and to customize the L&F of the search results.

Then I realized that it costs quite some money ($4,995) for the hardware and software. (I guess the proprietary software costs a whole lot more than actual hardware.) The "nice" feature is that, you can only index up to 50,000 documents with this price. If you need to index more, sorry, send in the check... It seems to me that any small biz will be ripped off if they install this google mini thing, compared to using Lucene to implement a easy to use search software, which could search up to whatever number of documents you could image. I hope the lucene project could get exposed more to the enterprise so that people know that they have not only cheaper but more importantly, BETTER alternatives.
