I was so proud of what our team accomplished in 2009 that I wrote a couple of different versions of our accomplishments. I posted one last week. However, after thinking about it some more, I was so excited by specific achievements, that I decided to post this version as well, which lists many of them.

On our site we have different sections that should have their own search forms. Each search form should search only within a section (node type(s)). Each section also has a "advanced search" fieldsets with different filters.
Can I create customized search forms that send their query to Acquia Search? Or is this a feature where a distributed index comes into play?

In a current client project we are using Acquia Search as a full text search across different sections of our site. What we want to do is to group the search results be type (node type), showing the 5 top results + a link at the bottom pointing to all other results for that type.
Is this possbible with Acquia Search? I think it is and we only have to change the search results? What's a bit unclear to me is how to construct the link? The link can spawn another search - no problem here - but how can I offset the results, hiding the first 5 results from the "search result overview"?

For the last six months, Scott Reynolds has been keeping a big juicy secret. As the maintainer of the Apache Solr Views module, he knows just how cool the future of Drupal Search is going to be. His module, based on an idea and code from Thomas Seidl, lets you make custom searches against the Solr index the same way you currently make views against the MySQL database.

When utilizing the Acquia Search service, do we in any way need to alter the apachesolr/schema.xml file?
I've read posts where this file is altered for custom Solr setups and I'd like to know how Acquia subscribers should treat this file within their Drupal installations.
I would love to use Solr but I need a way to get a list of Node IDs back and then join to a Proximity search result.
The form I have takes 2 fields and modifies a drupal view to get the result (it basically it works like do_search() with a where clause to do the proximity). I have it working on standard Drupal search. Here are the form inputs:

Last week Acquia sent me to New Orleans to be a speaker at Lullabot's Do it With Drupal conference. The conference went very well and I gave a presentation about ApacheSolr, and how faceted search will change the way you think about finding things on your site. Since Acquia recently announced that we will be launching a hosted Solr search service even more people have shown interest in ApacheSolr.

saw the blog post, awesome news! but when i logged in here it's totally unclear about where we should go to request an invite to participate (or to be considered)

The search technology area is highly important to people with websites. As a result, I've spent serious time looking at it. Several things have come from this time spent:
The important thing: We'll soon be adding "hosted site search" capabilities to the Acquia Network for our subscribers. More about this below.
