A first step would be to have Christian and Simon organise a brainstorm on how to provide log data from Solr in a form that can be imported into Spotfire and voilá - instant search analytics :) We will move in this direction this autumn I hope.

Such is the case with search and business intelligence. How about throwing out ALL the boxes and starting over? Andy why only business intelligence? Isn't all intelligence potentially business intelligence? Why not connect ALL THE DOTS to reveal as yet undiscovered patterns that become the core of future concepts and theories leading to new opportunities? Enterprise cost savings is just the tip of the iceberg. It seems to me the inescapable truth of such an undertaking would be to change the underlying fabric of the Internet Itself. Is anybody up to the task? For a glimpse into that future, see my comments at http://www.squidoo.com/UnstructuredInformation NO MORE BOXES

The problem generally is that the business is waiting for the vendors to present a product that can fulfill their needs, and the vendors are waiting for the business to describe what they actually want to solve. To combine Solr and Spotfire would be a really interesting way to erase the boundary between structured and unstructured data..if you do so in the future, please post a comment. I believe we are a lot of people interested in development in this area! :-) Yes, I’m also convinced that the best result comes from actually trying and exploring ideas..!

I think there are many possibilities of exploring ideas in your post and much more in in our lab :) At JCDEC where Findwise is involved we actually do have both an Enterprise Search solution based on Solr and a BI-solution based on Spotfire on the way in.
