MindGenies team has excellent knowledge and hands on experience in developing search solutions. We have worked with several local search solutions & directory website projects where the requirement was to create advanced & comprehensive search modules. We use Lucene/Solr as the search framework depending on whether the project is being developed using Microsoft/LAMP/Java. World’s biggest websites use Lucene/Solr as their search backend. Lucene and Solr are widely used as the basis for Intranet and internal enterprise search engines, where they can be used to index and retrieve word documents, PDFs, databases, geospatial content and other forms of rich media content.

Apache Lucene(TM) is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform.

Solr is an open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling. Providing distributed search and index replication, Solr is highly scalable.
