Nice subject especially if you need more than Zend_Lucene.
Get the most out of Solr search with PHP
Paul Borgermans (Jan 30, 2010)
Talk at PHPBenelux Conference 2010 (English - UK)
After a thorough overview of the main features and benefits of Apache Solr (an open source search server), the architecture of Solr and strategies to adopt it for your PHP application and data model will be presented. The main lessons learned around dealing with a mix of structured and non-structured content, multilingual aspects, tuning and the various state-of-the-art features of Solr will be shared as well.

Very interesting talk, I really need to get into the subject when I have time. Paul definitly looked like the expert on the subject, but it also was a bit much for a complete Solr n00bie like me. It still feels like implementing Solr will be costy on my dev-time.

Very nice presentation, with a lot of good content and a good knowledge of the product. Learned a lot and it just gave me a lot of more work, because after seeing the presentation i have to throw away our own lucene impementation and migrate to Solr, thanks a lot! :)

Even though the talk was a bit more technical than I expected. I really became very interested in finding more info about SOLR.
It was very clear that Paul was a total expert on this subject and the questions that were asked were always answered very clear and precise.
The time frame was a bit short, I think if you would devide the talk in 2 timeslots it would be even more usefull for people. With even more examples.
Very good presentation Paul!

Paul is a real expert when it comes to Solr. He really knows his stuff. The downside to this I think is that he tried to but too much info into one presentation. It really gets too technical at times which is a shame.
Chances are good I'll be implementing SOLR on a project soon, so I really enjoyed the info Paul was able to provide.
