RE: [houcfug] Issues with Solr, Looking for Alternatives

Angeli,

They say you always pay it forward eventually - you did some work for my Firm back in 2008-ish integrating CF with the Google Mini Search Appliance (sadly long since retired and no longer available).

What we found (and use) as a replacement is DTSearch, a .NET-based search engine that integrates well with CF: https://www.dtsearch.com/index.html called through CFOBJECT.

It is very powerful, and can index terabytes of data, and handles many file types. It's searching features are very advanced, with things like fuzzy logic, etc.

Hope that helps!

Subject: [houcfug] Issues with Soir, Looking for Alternatives

Good afternoon, folks.

I'm wondering if anyone have has problems with searching via <cfsearch> and Soir on ColdFusion 11? One client I work for has about 1,000 PDF files (some dozens pf pages long) indexed nightly. Daily, an average of about 1,000 searches would be run through the collection, some just single words, and some phrases, some using "or".  Sometimes, the Soir search engine would slow down and get hung up, and occasionally we have to bounce Coldfusion's Add-On service. We didn't have this kind of problem when we were using Verity on an older version of ColdFusion. Is Soir normally this flakey?

Also, are there any alternatives to Soir? What about Lucene... can it index PDF files?

Thanks,
Angeli Wahlstedt
