There are other threads in the archive about Lucene vs Swish-e. I expect the 
Lucene pros/cons still apply to Solr.

Other engines to consider for large collections:

  * http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch/ (Perl)
  * http://xapian.org/features.php (C++ with lots of language bindings)

Both do UTF-8, multi-million doc collections, full incremental indexing, and 
many of the same search features Swish-e has.
