Apache Solr is a very quick and easy way to search for keywords within a document; the ability to add weightings to search terms to increase the outcome of search relevance gives it great flexibility. It is simple to access its data via REST API. The flexibility in adjusting the query in terms of boosting, faceting, and more is very useful.
