How to evaluate hosted full text search solutions?

by

Websolr provides a cloud-based Solr with a control panel. It’s in private beta as of this writing, but you can get the service through Heroku.

Another hosted Solr service is PowCloud, also in private beta, which seems to offer strong WordPress integration.

SolrHQ: another beta service providing a hosted Solr solution, with Joomla and WordPress integrations.

Acquia Search offers Solr integration for Drupal sites.

If you decide to build your own EC2 instance, the SolrOnAmazonEC2 wiki page might be useful. Or you could just get LucidWorks Solr for EC2, which is probably the easiest and fastest way to get Solr on EC2.

Engine Yard provides a cloud-based Sphinx service.
