Hi Rich, This helps a lot. I am not very familiar with Joomla or Wordpress so I can't help comparison shop but from a brainstorming perspective, the interface between Drupal in SOLR is very good. If you are doing a site the wants to show Search dynamics such as Facets, Keyword vs. directed searches as part of the overall Marketing effort, I'll throw out Drupal with SOLR modules as a possible direction to consider. Now, I promise, I'll shut up again :) On Sep 27, 2011, at 7:23 PM, Rich Roth wrote: > On 9/27/2011 4:23 PM, Stephen Wills wrote: >> I thought that TnR Global is a Joomla shop?
