Wordpress search is pretty bad. Misspell a word and you get back zilch. It is a very literal search. This plugin requires that you have access to a SOLR installation.
Apache Solr (stands for Searching On Lucene w/ Replication) is a free, open-source search engine based on the Apache Lucene library. An Apache Lucene subproject, it has been available since 2004 and is one of the most popular search engines available today worldwide.
Users submit search queries through a web interface or an API. Solr parses these queries, applies filters, and searches the index for matching documents. The results are ranked based on relevance and returned to the user, often with highlighted text snippets.
