Ahh I realise I am to blame for some of the confusion. I haven't stated clearly, I do think adding Solr would be beneficial, and I would be happy to accept patches that do that, as long as they do it in a way that provides a search engine abstraction layer. I'd hate to see us lock ourselves hard to another search engine and have to redo it all again when we find a better one. If we are working towards DB abstraction, lets do Search engine abstraction too.
