Hopefully someone will pick up the project now that it's an Apache project, because it's never really worked for me whenever I tried it...

I've been particularly amazed by the amount of newsgroup traffic for Solr - it feels like it's hit critical mass in enterprise search, for many cases where an out-of-the-box commercial solution isn't the best option. Re Tika, I think a 1.0 release would probably be happening in 2010, not 2009, as there's not a lot of time left in this year :) As for why people use Lucene, I think you're right that flexibility is critical. It certainly was one of the key factors at Krugle when we were deciding which IR engine to use. -- Ken Hi Grant,
