That's a very impressive
That's a very impressive demo. Has anyone ever got something similar working with Drupal / Solr?

Example of SolrJS library running under Drupal and Solr
I am currently building a site for the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). This is built with Drupal 6, ApacheSolr.module and the SolrJS javascript library. It is not yet live and won't be for another month or so, but it is great stuff.
I plan on doing a write up and hope to get it posted to Drupal.org.
Happy to answer any questions in the meantime...
Cheers,

Possibly First Solrjs / Drupal Site
I can't be sure, but I suspect that http://bougex.com which we launched mid May is the first solrjs/drupal site out there.

As you can see, we're really using solr and solrjs quite extensively. To make it work for our use case, we had to do a lot of customization and bug fixing to it.
By the end of the summer, we hope to package our work into a clean, reusable module that we can share on Drupal.org, if there's any interest.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation website was publicly launched a week ago or so, and you can see their Solr integration here: http://abcdigmusic.net.au/browse
@robertDouglass, thanks very much for starting this thread and alerting me to solrJs (and your Drupalcon presentation, for alerting me about Solr)!

I'd be very interested in a solrjs module. Your implementation is very slick. Very nice.

Oh Oh Oh --- Solr envy
I'm drooling. Let me know how I can help with the effort to abstract and modulify :D That's a really hot search!
Holy crap!
Yeah -- that is pretty hot.
Very nicely done.

Solr on the ABC site
Hello Alex Dergachev,
Thanks for the mention in your post. Yes, our site went live July 1st, so you beat us by 2 months! We are also using solrjs on the http://abcdigmusic.net.au/played page. This lists what is currently playing on digital radio and what they have played since digital radio went live (on July 1st also).
The solr index is updated in real time with the broadcast information, so it shows how solr can integrate external data feeds with Drupal data and package it all together in a nice clean interface.
Solr is great stuff :)
Cheers,

SolrJS becomes AJAX Solr
As of October, we've inherited the SolrJS project, now AJAX Solr. Much of the API has been changed for the better, and AJAX Solr is more feature-full than ever. See our comparison to SolrJS: http://wiki.github.com/evolvingweb/ajax-solr/comparison-to-solrjs
I'm just about ready to tag a 0.1 release. Check out the demo site, tutorial, docs, and code at http://evolvingweb.github.com/ajax-solr/
In other Solr + JavaScript news, we released this week a new apachesolr_ajax module: http://drupal.org/project/apachesolr_ajax With very little configuration, you can AJAXify the search interface you built with the apachesolr module. See it in action here: http://muhc.ca/search/apachesolr_search
The old AJAX Solr-Drupal integration module is no longer available, as I believe the new apachesolr_ajax module does everything you want, with less code.
Look forward to your comments.
