We are using Search Server 2008 Express and WSS 3.0. Can we upgrade to Search Server 2010 and still keep WSS? We can NOT upgrade to Sharepoint 2010.

I was trying to reverse engineer Twitter-Live Search. Maybe we could discuss it here. I am talking about the feature where Tweets are shown even latest to "1 sec ago" etc. Trying to understand how the following might happen - There must be some layer between when the user tweets & when the index (updates) happen. Is this layer MySQL or...
Currently, I am using Lucene version 3.0.2 to create a search application that is similar to a dictionary. One of the objects that I want to display is a sort of "example", where Lucene would look for a word in a book and then the sentences where the words were used are displayed.

I am looking to understand how enterprise search solutions tackle the issue of user-permissions. My question is on displaying the search results for users. The naive approach would display the search results to the user, and then if the user clicks a document he is not authorized to see, he will fail to open it. However, it is even forb...
