Attractive Open Source Search Interfaces?
An anonymous reader writes "I work for a company that manages an online database for the political market. We add to this DB daily with updates from a variety of sources and our customers then search through this content via our Solr/Lucene search engine. My problem is, our search interface is a little, well, basic and I would love to know if there are any feature-rich open source alternatives out there. The only one I can find is Flamenco, and while that seems strong on categorisation, that seems to be about the height of it."
In fact, Sphinx is used on Slashdot ...
Contrary to popular belief, Ask Slashdot, even when asking questions about Open Source free alternatives, is not an open invitation to bash Microsoft.

Just curious, what's 'political market' ? Is it really that bad already?
>I just wish there was a button labeled "Complain to Windows development about this feature and why it sucks".
There is, it's the "Buy" button next to a Mac on the Apple website.
Wish I had the money to burn for one of those babies
