Attractive Open Source Search Interfaces? 65

An anonymous reader writes "I work for a company that manages an online database for the political market. We add to this DB daily with updates from a variety of sources and our customers then search through this content via our Solr/Lucene search engine. My problem is, our search interface is a little, well, basic and I would love to know if there are any feature-rich open source alternatives out there. The only one I can find is Flamenco, and while that seems strong on categorisation, that seems to be about the height of it."

I own a terapin. My Terapin device is fine. If you read the reviews, most owners are satisfied. The ones who are not expected DVD quality. I have to use brand-name CD-Rs. The generic CD blanks from COMPU USA don't work very well. I like the Terapin since I can record real time from DVDs, Cable, or VHS. If the source VHS quality is bad, it gets worse converting to VCD since it is a lossy process.
