Solr search service

Solr is a full-text search engine, based on Lucene, that contains the following features:

  • XML/HTTP Interfaces

  • Loose schema to define types and fields

  • Web Administration Interface

  • Extensive Caching

  • Index Replication

  • Extensible Open Architecture

  • Written in Java5, deployable as a WAR

  • Support for stemming

The ColdFusion installer automatically creates the ColdFusion 9 Solr service, which contains the Solr web application. For UNIX and Linux, you need to start and stop the Solr shell script.
