Super happy for you guys, congrats!! :) Super not happy to find a new search solution in the next six months. :(
It is not like that. Check our FAQ out: https://indextank.com/documentation/faq2 . We're talking to several interested parties who would like to take over the service.

#12Very intrigued to know which specific components of their technology will they open source - and how they fit within linkedin sna different projects http://sna-projects.com/sna/ and lucene / other open source projects at large.
Really curious to know if any IndexTank / linkedin team member reading.

#13Congrats to the LinkedIn and IndexTank folks for the successful exit/acquisition. Apologies for tooting my own horn here, but for anyone wondering about alternatives for hosted search, there's always Apache Solr and fizx's and my hosted service at http://websolr.com/ . We're bootstrapped, profitable, and going on two years old. And we intend to be around for a while! Feel free to hit me up with questions!

You list Java as supported on this page, but the link 404s. http://websolr.com/guides/solr/clients Do you guys support Java integration?

Plus, Solr just seemed to struggle with geo search. I used Sunspot as my search interface and had to specify a minimum precision of 6 (supposedly a 6+ mile bounding box) to get any results, even those that were less than a mile away. I know Solr uses geohashing, but it just appeared wildly inaccurate...at least for me.

I contemplated websolr recently but went with IndexTank simply due to the free storage they provided. It's nice to test out the service in dev mode to see if it's a good fit before committing to paying for it. Any chance Websolr offers an option like this down the road?

We're definitely open to adding easier free trials. As a developer myself, I respect when a service meets you half-way on that initial integration cost.
In the mean time, we're pretty liberal with trials. Hit me up at info@onemorecloud.com if you're interested and I'll hook you up with a free month to try things out.

I hear you on that. Solr only relatively recently got a decent, official Spatial search API with its version 3 release. We've got a Solr 3 cluster up at Websolr (with lots of other tasty stuff, like real-time updates), but Sunspot is lagging behind a bit.
I'm one of the maintainers of Sunspot and we're pushing out a new 1.3 maintenance/bugfix release within the next few days, which should clear the way for Solr 3 support -- and much better spatial search -- in Sunspot 1.4.
