DotNetNuke+Apache Solr=High Speed Enterprise Search

We have successfully implemented Apache Solr as a Search Solution for DotNetNuke.

Here's the summary on how we did it.

First we installed BitNami Apache Solr Stack to our test machine(Windows 7).

We change the Solr Schema to fit our needs.  

We build a DNN Scheduler to add/edit/delete documents to Solr using Solrnet.

After we are done indexing,  we created a search class to query Solr Webservice using Solrnet.

Now we have an Intelligent and Fast Search. :)

FYI: Solr has a cool Dashboard that will let you check if your documents are being index properly or do some test query.

I will find time to share actual source code in the near future.

Regards
