Infomedia upgraded their closed-source search engine to Apache Solr, an open-source platform. They worked with Flax to define their own query language, replace Verity with Flax Monitor which uses Apache Lucene, and replace Autonomy IDOL with Apache Solr. This provided benefits like faster indexing, a smarter monitoring solution, and control over their own query language. While challenging, the project was ultimately successful and allowed Infomedia to modernize their search capabilities.
