Drupal 7 search: Search API & Apache Solr

In Drupal 7, if you want fast, scalable, and faceted search, you have two options: Search API or Apache Solr Search Integration. In this session, I'll briefly cover the advantages of faceted Solr search, give an overview of the two solr solutions above and use cases for each, and then dive into how to configure them, focusing particularly on the new and conceptually complex (but powerful, flexible, and exciting) Search API module. Participants will leave with an understanding of the power of Apache Solr, the two Apache Solr integration options for Drupal 7, some criteria for choosing each, and the steps necessary to setup, configure, and start using both.
