Introduction

We already talked about Apache Solr. As we know Solr uses a REST type Interface, which returns either XML, JSON, PHP or Python, which don’t look attractive in a webbrowser. If you require a nice looking interface you can use Java, PHP, Python or JavaScript. Apache has decided a complete page on Solr clients. But we love the AJAX version which is available online. A comprehensive guide can be found here.

We are currently working on an Apache Velocity interface. So be patient..
