Join For FreeApache Solr doesn't just provide a fast, sacalable search platform with lots of powerful features; it does all of that with style.

The bottom line
You haven't experienced the full power of the Solr platform until you've explored what it has to offer in the way of state of the art user interfaces and interactions.
To give you an idea of what that means, here's a list of some of the topics covered in the presentation:
- Live systems that leverage Ajax Suggest
- “Instant” search and preview
- Did you mean?
- Spell checking
- Faceting
- Filtering, grouping, and clustering
The presentation also covers charts, maps and timelines generated from data that Solr indexes. If you want to follow along, look below for the slides.
