Searching Evergreen with Solr

I think Evergreen is pushing the limits of search within PostgreSQL; I've been working with Solr as an additional interface.

Solr does so much of the features we want in Evergreen search and it's much simpler to extend/improve/customise than what is shown in Example: Adding a Local Subjects (690) search index

The current Solr search solution is an add-on to Evergreen but can be integrated on top of the same Apache - a demo is visible at http://demo.ils.edoceo.com/sap/sunshine

• Relvancy Boosting
• Boolean Search
• Multi Language Search
• Easy Addition of Indexed Fields
• Faceted Search (media, library, language, subject, &c) -
• Templates are savable by a simple query string - Search Templates

This has to be done from an external script, I've got a stub of one going in PHP working with the Solr JSON interface. Indexes about 32k records in 5 minutes.
