	Solr is built on top of Apache Lucene. It is a toolbox responsible for indexing, searching, spell-check and advance tokenization whereas Solr is a search server which inherits all the features of Lucene but also adds API integration, caching and most importantly a web admin interface. This feature makes Solr very easy to use in production environment. Both of these technology needs Java 1.4 or above.		Solr is built on top of Apache Lucene.
