Hi All -
I just wanted to make everyone aware the eMuseum 4.0 uses Lucene for indexing of search terms for Quick/Simple Searches. It supports Lucene query syntax, including fielded searching (e.g. title:search_value) and the indexing process can be automated through the eMuseum Adminstrator/Configuration pages. You can test/view this by going to the eMuseum 4.0 demo site at http:// www.emuseum.com/40 The site is password protected, so please enter the login: emuseum and password: Vermeer (case-sensitive).
As an example, enter the Quick Search term "young" (w/out quotes) and you will receive 59 results. If you enter the Quick Search term "title:young" (w/out quotes), you will receive only 8 results which are those where the term "young" appears in the Title field.
eMuseum offers read-only access to your collections and provides a powerful search tool allowing users easily search your records via Quick Search as mentioned above or through the field-operator-value search options offered on the Advanced Search page(s).
Thanks,
Kevin

Erin,
Ted Dancescu said that he was using Lucene to index collection data for the Explore Art Search on the Getty's public website.
Ryan Chute is considering Lucene/Solr for the other project in development. Did I misunderstand?
Ted said Lucene and Ultraseek both were used for the public facing website.

Hi everyone,
The Getty is considering using Solr as a way to search across collections at the Getty Museum and the Getty Research Institute, similar to the project at the Smithsonian that Jeffrey references below.
This is not a front-end interface to replace searching in TMS, which we do not have any issues with.
We're still very much at the prototype phase, but I'm happy to share our progress with this project to the TMS Listserv as it becomes more defined and developed.

Would like to hear about that as well.
The Smithsonian SIRIS Cross-search uses a Solr-Lucene index. It's amazingly fast and pulls results from the libraries, archives, and collections.

Greetings:
We just got back from a tour of the Getty and observed that they were using Lucene to index the data in TMS (actually in SQL Server). I was told that Boston MFA did this as well. I'd love to hear from other institutions who have developed their own front end to TMS and employed Lucene or other search engine to make TMS easy and intuitive to search.
Thank you,
Emily
