I've started to write a new module for Solr integration. After finally getting around to testing and trying it extensively, I can say that Solr is one of the coolest things I've seen in the search space. The module that I've written departs from the current Solr project on Drupal.org in that it doesn't conflict with core search, but rather plugs into the core search framework. I need people who know a lot about Solr to look at my work and help me figure some things out:
- How best to support multiple search indexes?
- How best to support faceted search, especially in a CCK/Views environment?
- How best to improve the scoring algorithm so that Solr knows as much about our Drupal content as Drupal does?
- Why do I get false positives sometimes (documents that don't have any of the search terms in them)?

first off, thanks for your
first off, thanks for your good :)
What bothers me is, if it would be possible to combine solr with views. Solr looks like a great solution, but loosing the great flexibility of views for building searches would hurt.
