Hello kkieser. I've used both and my name may of come up in your searches. For your system, I would definitely not use Endeca as its too complicated for the relatively simple needs that you have. You asked if there are technical differences and of course being two different systems, the answer is yes -- but both can fit your needs.
I'm not quite convinced that either would be worthwhile for what you describe over something more home-grown with a database. I could see you re-using Lucene's analysis package to tokenize and the process each token against and match against a hashtable. By the way, Solr is going to use a Hashtable as well on either index or query time to handle synonyms. Your scenario does not suggest that this list would be so large to be concerning. Of course if you want other features in Solr like highlighting and faceting and the other goodies, then its clearly worthwhile. ~ David Smiley ----- Author: https://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server/book -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Endeca-vs-Solr-tp832826p832972.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
