Optimizing Findability in Lucene and Solr
From the post:
To paraphrase an age-old question about trees falling in the woods: “If content lives in your application and you can’t find it, does it still exist?” In this article, we explore how to make your content findable by presenting tips and techniques for discovering what is important in your content and how to leverage it in the Lucene Stack.
I would ask:
“If content is available on the WWW and you can’t find it, does it still exist?”
Unlike the tree example, I think that has a fairly clear answer: No.
It can’t influence your decisions, it can’t shape your policies, it can’t form the basis for new ideas or products, or to help you avoid costly mistakes. That sounds like it doesn’t exist to me.
The post is fairly detailed but well worth the effort. Enjoy!
