JTeam Solr Explorer

JTeam is known for it's innovative character. We're continously creating cool demo's and playing with the latest technologies. To convince you of the potential of our technology "hot list" and what it can do for your business, we've decided to create cool demoable applications and share our case studies, for e.g. the core search engine we built for ilocal. The added benefit of ilocal's solution is that it's hardware profile is lean and mean. ilocal found itself dropping two production servers after going live, simply because the JTeam built Solr/Lucene solution increased their response time and required fewer resources to do it.

One of our new projects is the Solr Explorer, a powerful generic Apache Solr client developed by JTeam. Based on Google Web Toolkit and the GWToolbox framework, this powerful explorer is able to connect to several Solr instances/cores and provides a meaningful UI for some of the more advanced featured offered by Solr.

With this Solr Explorer you can:

Perform simple term based search
Configure highlighting of search terms
Configure spellchecking ("Did you mean..." functionality)
Explore search facets (field and query facets)
View the search request and raw search response
Browse the Solr Schema
Configure different search result sortings
And more...

Convince yourself. See Solr Explorer in action!

For your information; we're currently evaluating how this cool tool could be given back to the community, i.e. the Solr open source project. Contact us if case of any questions, or if you want to stay informed.

What JTeam can do for you

We're the Open Source Enterprise Search experts and can help guide you in your choice of technologies and approach in implementing an Enterprise Search solution. Using Apache Lucene (the open source Java Search library) and Apache Solr (the open souce web server that complements Lucene) we can custom build a high performance and reliable platform for Enterprise Search that is up to the demands of all types of organizations.

But besides these hardcore search technologies, we also have expertise in related open source projects such as recommendation and clustering engines (e.g. Taste, Carrot2), web search/crawlers (Nutch), frameworks for distributed computing (Hadoop), machine learning libraries (Mahout) and content and metadata extractors (Tika). These are all powerful technologies that can add intelligence and speed to your Enterprise Search solution when applied correctly. And JTeam can help you figure out which ones you need to accelerate your business.
