Comment Solr is Lucene-based and understands Word files (Score 1) 232

The upcoming Solr 1.4 release (http://lucene.apache.org/solr) includes the Tika document parser. You can throw Word, PDF etc files to it, and it will index them for you. Solr is a web service; a few hundred lines of PHP would be enough to use the Solr to index your shared volume, and a again that much for a web-based search tool.

Introducing the Warpship 361

astroengine writes "Dr. Richard Obousy, a guy who has put modern science into the warp drive, has designed his very own warpship. Now, for the first time, he's shared it with the world. It might not be the sleek Starship Enterprise, but its structure has been optimized to harness local 'dark energy,' generating a warp bubble so faster-than-light velocities are possible." Now, the only question is: will the ship achieve faster-than-light travel ... or will the company hit those speeds once it has enough money from investors?
