Going from FAST to Solr

CareerBuilder, the global leader in human capital solutions, operates the largest job board in the U.S. and has an extensive and growing global presence. The CareerBuilder.com content is the very definition of Big Text: mountains of structured and unstructured text data (resumes and job listings) in many languages.

Previously, CareerBuilder utilized the Norwegian search engine FAST as their core search technology. FAST proved to be an excellent solution for CareerBuilder for years, in no small part due to FAST’s reliance on Basis Technology’s Rosette® to provide advanced language analysis services such as tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, decompounding, and lemmatization.
