Yes we did. Sorry for this. We both made the same error replying to the
mailing list.

Hey Jean-Sebastien,
Thanks for the reply. It sounds like your experience is exactly what is
needed
for my project.
To give you some background this project is for a personal project related
to
biomedical field that I'm trying to get up off the ground.
The site is www.antibodyreview.com
It is a portal site for researchers in the biotech industry specifically
focused
on antibodies - not sure how up you may be on biomedical research :)
Anyway I have collected a lot of information about proteins and antibodies
from
various sources which people can search and browse. The site is and will be
free to access by anyone.
The current search uses MySQL but our requirements for how the site needs to
operate cannot be properly handled by MySQL. Searches can take ~8-10 sec and
this is clearly not acceptable.
If you try the default search on the index page you can see how slow it is.
Suggested terms to try: Akt, p53, PTEN, AIF.
So there are several different items indexed in solr that we want to search:
1. Protein Information (~42,000 MySQL DB records)
2. Products (expect to host >200,000 product records, currently ~20,000
products) http://www.antibodyreview.com/products.php (current product search
is
faceted but also takes way too long)
3. Articles (text from ~120,000 articles) Article search can be accessed
from
the protein pages and advanced search page:
http://www.antibodyreview.com/advsearch.php
4. Images (~100,000 image captions) Image search is found on this page
http://www.antibodyreview.com/gallery.php
The current solr search which has been set-up can be seen on this page:
www.antibodyreview.com/proteins3.php (search bar on this page uses solr). It
is clearly much faster and meets our needs so it seems clear that using solr
is
the solution to the search issue.
The last programmer mentioned that he had indexed all the data and it is now
just a matter of setting up the search queries in solr. The most complicated
query to set-up will be the products as it requires faceted search. The
other
searches are failry routine or have more limited facets/options.
If it looks like their is mutual interest I can share with you a document
that
he created that explains how things have been set-up which should help you
get
started.
Please let me know what you think.
Regards,
Abe

Hi,
If you're still looking for someone, I might be interested in getting more
information
about your project. From you initial message that does not seem to be a lot
of
work
so I might be willing to give you some time.
I've been working with Solr for the last 7 months on my full-time job and
I'm
currently managing
a Solr based project that use Field collapsing, facetting, custom scoring
with
function queries and
a custom query handler.
Contact me if you're interested

Subject: Looking for help with Solr implementation
Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post but I'm looking for someone to
help finish a Solr install on our LAMP based website. This would be a paid
project.
The programmer that started the project got too busy with his full-time job
to
finish the project. Solr has been installed and a basic search is working
but
we need to configure it to work across the site and also set-up faceted
search. I tried posting on some popular freelance sites but haven't been
able
to find anyone with real Solr expertise / experience.
If you think you can help me with this project please let me know and I can
supply more details.
Regards,
Abe
