Recommendations for search plugin

[Joe Greenawalt]

I'm writing an app that will rely heavily on search, but it won't be anything fancy, just taking a word or two and searching domain 'title' and 'description' properties.  I'm wondering if anyone would like to chime in on your favorite search plugin for grails that is easy to setup and use and also has some longevity behind it.  What would you recommend?

I've made very 'general' assumptions based on readings that might not be true, feel free to correct them.

Searchable: based on a tech that is at the end of its lifecycle

Elastic: too new and can't run on its own.

Hibernate: heavier and too new, but probably the 'future'?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe
For a simple search application only searching for a title and a description I would recommend the grails searchable plugin. It is simple to setup - just installl the searchable, specify the fields in your domain to be indexed. I have used elastic search but, it is to complicated plus the latest version requires grails 2.0 + as the earlier version (grails 1.3.7)  has memory leak issues.
Thanks

Elastic search has an embedded mode too and IMO is the long term choice in your list :)

I noticed that you didn't mention the Solr plugin
(http://grails.org/plugin/solr). I don't have any experience w/ it,
but thought it might be among your choices.

Or even a mix between searchable to index the data and solr/ajax-solr for the search per se
