What I am really talking about, is this: There is a growing market for simple search solutions that can work out of the box, and that can still be customized. Something that: - organizations can use on their network, out of the box - on their intraweb, out of the box, just give credentials - can handle user access out of the box (LDAP/NIS/AD) - is FLOSS(!) - can be fully customized, if desired - modularized for even more customization if needed

I am not looking to change Solr in that direction. But take a look at Solr. Or Nutch. They are already built on Lucene and many other projects. Why/not build something on top of this? Something more/else?
I don't think that anyone is arguing that this product shouldn't exist in the open-source world, just that it shouldn't be part of Solr's mandate. It sounds like a cool project (though the closer you get to "commercial product" the more important support, packaging, marketing, etc. become--some of which are very difficult to achieve in a purely open-source setting). -Mike
