This document summarizes a presentation given by Steven Bower and Ken LaPorte of Bloomberg about building their search ecosystem. They started by reviewing Bloomberg's existing fragmented search solutions and selected Apache Solr as their new platform. They created a specialized search team and designed Solr as a middleware service. This supported migrating over 1000 applications and indexing over 10 billion documents. They discussed challenges around monitoring, configuration management, and infrastructure scaling. Their solutions involved improved monitoring tools, adopting DevOps practices like Git and continuous integration, and optimizing hardware resources. Future plans include containerization, failure prediction, and expanding Solr's capabilities.
