Solr the right thing for me?

[Chris <Sp...@freenet.de>]

Hello all,

I'm searching for a possibility to:

- Receive an email when a site changed/was added to a web.
- Only index sites, that contain a reg exp in the content.
- Receive the search results in machine readable way (RSS/SOAP/..)

This should be possible to organize in sets.
(set A with 40 Websites, set B with 7 websites)

Does it sound possible with SOLR?
Do I have to expect custom development? If so, how much?

Thank you in advance
Bye, Chris

I think that you might be confused about what Solr does. It is
a search engine, and does not crawl websites. A good possibility
for you might be Nutch, which has built-in search capabilities,
but also interfaces with Solr.

Solr gives you XML/JSON.

Yes, this can be done with separate indexes.

Nutch and Solr should meet your needs. There will be a fair
amount of learning to do at the beginning, but there should
not be a need for too much of a customisation.
