Today, I discovered OpenNLP—a Java toolkit for text processing based on machine learning methods. Spent the entire evening getting it to work with SOLR. Someone had started it, but it was feeble and did not work. I finally got it running properly. Now, when I search for a red IKEA table, I can show not just anything red from IKEA, but all tables, primarily red ones, secondly from IKEA, and then just tables. Without this tweak, one of these three options would lead, making it not so easy for the store owner to achieve any one strategy.

I’ll polish it up; an article is coming soon. Right now, I’m as pleased as punch.
