Excellent experience so far

My site has a lot of content that needs to be well-organised. So I needed a fast search engine (the WordPress one isn’t… reputed for that) that could handle facets, a non-trivial number of custom fields, dozens of categories, hundreds of tags, etc. for easy exploration of the content.

I’m quite happy with both the software and the support, it does feel like getting a professional solution for free.

Facets in particular are neat – it allows for extensive filtering based on multiple search criteria (say, all characters in the “Marvel” category with the “Atlantis” flag and a given custom field set to “Hero”).
