Yes, I had the same feeling a while back but it is really really different. solrj is what you want to look at, e.g: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj there the solrserver can be either an embedded server (xwiki could make this the default) or be an external one talked to over http. It is true the default solr tutorial shows only the http access. What it brings however is declarative field configuration and highlighting... both which are somewhat hard with the current plugin. paul PS: Solr is even a default component of Zend framework...

I looked at SOLR a while back, and I didn't like it. Maybe I didn't see all the ways it can be used, so correct me if I'm wrong: it only works as a standalone webapp talking over HTTP. If that is the case, then I don't like that, since it implies conversion to XML and parsing back, opening HTTP connections, network transfer. And in the end it still gets to Lucene. Using Lucene internally involves just a simple method call. Much faster.
