Solr would give tags an incredible boost as you can treat tags as facets. To me having it run as a seperate server makes it more controllable not less but good news for stackexchange search. Is AND now...

@Ironicnet, As far as I know, Solr uses Lucene Java. Dunno if it can use the .NET version.

Congratulations for bringing in a better search! Regarding the Solr questions: Solr would’ve been incredibly good for SO, and it’s perfectly possible integrating it with .NET, either sending search...

@Lucas Arruda: Just as with any traditional relational database, there are Solr clients for just about any platform (including .NET of course). The fact that it’s built on top of Lucene Java doesn’t...

Very nice Stack team! Lucene.NET does work remarkably well, though it is quite behind the Java version. You could also of course the Java Lucene hosted in SOLR, for example Telligent’s Community Server...

Balderdash! We expect your searches to provide better results than Google: you have a smaller problem domain :-). (Once again, I’ll wager that most of us would prefer to wait an extra minute than get...

Jeff, You are mistaken to think that “Lucene is barely changing at all”. That is a very vibrant community, see http://lucene.apache.org for more details. I agree with comments, that SO should implement...

So finally we can search for terms like std::vector without the ‘::’ causing it to return no results! Just out of interest, since Google re0index your site almost continually and many of your searches...

@Jeff: As Paige said, there’s a lot going on currently in Java Lucene, for example Twitter’s recent contributions for real-time indexing:...

Great to hear about the improvements, I definitely like what I see here. There is quite a bit of activity on the Lucene.NET mailing list and there is a formal incubator proposal in the works — see...

When asking about Solr, the point in this posting “No external search service dependency”, probably covers the why. While solr is a powerful tool, as a programmer its just has a much cleaner feel when...

Quick question – how did you implement Lucene.Net usage? I’m trying to use Lucene.Net in an albeit smaller ASP.NET MVC application. Are you doing something similar to...

Thanks for the feedback @micheal heardon You are correct, I was not very tactful and humble. I do apologize for starting off my comment that way, as I certainly do not want to alienate anyone.

First thanks to Jeff, I did get my SO . But I don’t know if it’s just me but is there some sort of advanced search on the site? Something where I can limit my search to a specific tag ?

I see a lot of comments for Solr and asking why we didn’t go that way. I agree in most cases it’s the way to go; however it doesn’t really fit our goals. Rarely is a solution one-size fits all, so let...
