Check out manticoresearch - it's older than Lucene (which elasticsearch is built on), faster and simpler.
How does this compare to Elasticsearch or Solr?
How does this compare to solr or elasticsearch?
How does the search / indexing compare to sphinx or lucene?
You can use ElasticSearch (based on Lucene - http://www.elasticsearch.org/) if Solr/Lucene seems to complex. I wasn't very successful in getting a stable setup when I tested it (more than a year ago), but as you can see from their web page, they aim at making things easier.
Could look into an elastic search / Lucene solution
Any experience on how Lucene/Solr stacks up against other search tools such as Sphinx or Xapian ?
What advantages does your search system have over better search systems than Lucene/Solr, such as Sphinx?
How does it compare to Lucene? I use Lucene alot and it fricking rocks.
Wouldn't it be possible to do the same thing with Apache Lucene/Solr?
