Any reasons to prefer Solr over elastic-search?

Solr is a lot more configurable (Search Components, Update Request Processors, configurable Schemaless processing sequence, etc). Solr includes Admin UI console which is free for production, ES has one that's only free for development. Solr has contributors from a lot more different companies, so grows into multiple directions at once. If you want to compare on a technical level, you can see my presentation from the…

Does Solr 5.0 support password-protecting the admin interface yet without spending hours trying to wrangle custom XML files? It seems like a pretty basic requirement for a web-based application. I've tried things like this http://community.zimbra.com/documentation/w/documentation/se... repeatedly. They never seem to work right.

Make your solr listen to localhost, and put a reverse-proxy system like nginx to access it via web and control authentication from there.

I also did a Meetup on this just this week http://www.slideshare.net/detnavillus/the-well-tempered-sear...

Check out slide 18 - autophrasing + synonyms: Precision 100% recall 100% Bag of words OOTB Solr/Lucene NOT so!

The code is on github and is a Lucene TokenFilter so it should work. I used 4.10.3 for the Meetup demo

At my company, we've been beating our heads to the wall[0] in getting multi-term synonyms to work correctly in SOLR. e.g. fruit extractor => fruit juicer, citrus juicer Does anyone experienced enough have a clue if SOLR 5 can help with that?

This guy fixed it for 3 and 4 https://github.com/healthonnet/hon-lucene-synonyms The Solr guys don't give a flying F about this issue though

As I said I'm one Solr guy that does 'effin care about this issue - I should have replied on this sub thread, sorry. Will have a submission ready soon for my AutophrasingTokenFilter - when I get the JIRA number, I'll let you know.

Still no percolator/reverse search. ElasticSearch still is my go-to search technology.

I've checked http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/referenc... But, couldn't grasp the usecase. Can anyone share some thoughts, where will it be helpful?

Think Google Alerts or Think "Tell me when price reaches $X"
