Here is at yellopages/rus (yell.ru) we switch from FAST to Lucene. I am HAPPY about it. Sometimes FAST was a nightmare to work with. Non-working features, obscure bugs, thousands of non-documented settings, slow, lazy and dumb techsupport... Not mention it's ridiculous price and very limiting licen

Hmm..not sure I would call Autonomy a "superb product". IMHO It is anything but. In fact, it is what one calls bloat-ware.I have had some experience with Autonomy and it is hardly something you should consider using unless you are eager to shoot yourself in the foot. I fundamentally disagree with P

Maybe it is a Verity specific term :) zone search = searching only a part of a document. e.g. 1000 docs in the corpus, query only second paragraph of all docs. @Lukas: That is not what I am saying at all. Lucene's feature set is not a superset of those of autonomy/verity/endeca ..., neither is th

So it means that autonomy search solution is doing better out of the box then any solution based on Lucene right now? And bringing Lucene based solution at the same level would require additional investments and non-trivial development (probably not small). In other words if client is using autonom
