A Comparison of Open Source Search Engines

I imagine many of you already saw this -- Lucene does pretty well in
this "shootout".
The only area it tended to lag, it seems, is memory usage and speed in
some cases.

Vik did a very nice job.

One thing the experiment did not mention is that Lucene handles incremental updates, whereas many of the other "competitors" do not. So the indexing performance comparison is not really fair.

I'd say out of these libraries only Lucene and Sphinx are worth mentioning.

There's also MG4J, which wasn't covered and has a nice algorithmic background.
Anybody knows other interesting open-source search engines?

mg4j is a nice project. It is missing the incremental aspects as well.

The "older" paper this experiment mentioned contains lucene-mg4j comparisons.

Interesting, I never realized there was lucene-java-dev@... .

My thoughts are on http://www.jroller.com/otis/entry/open_source_search_engine_benchmark (and in several comments in the blog itself).

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

From the website of Hounder:

 

How does Hounder compare to Lucene?
Lucene is a full text search library, intended to be a basic building block for applications needing text search functionality. Hounder, while it uses Lucene, is a search engine, providing all the required components to gather and find information with minimum extra coding, and often, no coding at all.

 

So it is like Solr or Nutch a “search server”/”framework” (or whatever) around Lucene.
