About this session
Solr is a popular open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Glenn Jones’s talk will introduce Solr from a User Experience Designer’s point of view. It will take a look at how Solr’s faceted search can be used to design powerful language-based features: from user-driven tagging to autocompletion. Also, the talk will try to answer the question of what kind of User Interfaces Solr tends to lend itself to. This is a fairly introductory talk aimed at a non-technical audience.
