New Faster (and Smarter) Search Engine Available When Searching Public Library of Science
From an PLoS Announcement by Liz Allen:
For years, scholarly publishers have lagged behind in providing similar search capabilities to, for example, Borders or Expedia, but not any more! Now PLoS is helping the scientific community - the birthplace of the internet - to make up some lost ground by offering what we believe is the most powerful and flexible search functionality available from any scientific and medical publisher.
Those of you who like technology, will be interested to know that we have also re-organized our infrastructure for better search performance. We are now using Solr, an Open Source search server originally developed by CNET Networks, with the Lucene Open Source search engine. A separate server is dedicated to our search engine to efficiently fetch information from our library of articles without impacting journal performance.
