I am picking one of the 2 search engines above for a project, and so far both of them have shown to be similar in functionalities.
At least for the requirements that I have:
- Proximity Search
- Boolean queries
- query over all fields
- Boolean queries
- Retrieval of original indexed document
- Real time search requirements, as soon as I index a document, it should be available
Besides that I should have around 1 single type of document, in about 40 million documents - roughly 2 TB of data
that's basically what I need, my questions would be:
Does one search engine perform better than the other considering my dataset? Such as offering better indexing rates or Search Rates?
Am I loosing anything by going with Solr(considering my requirements)?
Solr is my choice at the moment.
