8 Best Open Source Search Engines built on top of Lucene
By my count I get five (5) based on Lucene. See what you think.
Lucene base:
- Apache Solr
- Compass
- Constellio
- Elastic Search
- Katta
No Lucene base:
- Bobo Search
- Index Tank
- Summa
Post has short summaries about the search engines and links to their sites.
Do you think the terminology around search engines is as confused as around NoSQL databases?
Any cross-terminology comparisons you would recommend to CIO’s or even users?
I see the post says “IndexTank search engine powers search in Reddit,” but Reddit search is famously poor. Not much of a recommendation, really.

True and the post title says “…built on top of Lucene” but IndexTank is not.
Lucene gets a much higher follow/study value than its competitors.
But if you were a search engine expert, knowing why other engines perform poorly could be of interest.
