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 :)
