Mitch, I think you really have 2 distinct questions there:
One question is Nutch vs. Droids. The other one is Solr vs. Nutch for search. My suggestions: * Use Nutch, not Droids, if scaling is important * Use Solr, not Nutch's search webapp Otis ---- Sematext :: http://sematext.com/ :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch Lucene ecosystem search :: http://search-lucene.com/ ----- Original Message ---- > From: MitchK <mitc...@web.de> > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Sent: Wed, June 16, 2010 1:37:23 PM > Subject: Re: Solr and Nutch/Droids - to use or not to use? > > Thank you for the feedback, Otis.
