[MCN-L] Is anyone using Lucene to index and search collection data?

[Charles Moad]

Good timing.  We (the Indianapolis Museum of Art) are "soft" launching
our new website today.  The live search (Apple-like real-time
results), collection search and site search are all running on Solr,
which is a web interface to Lucene.  You can find more at this blog
post including access details:
