The Solr module (full name Magnolia Solr Search Provider Module) allows you to use Apache Solr, a standalone enterprise-grade search server with a REST-like API, for indexing and crawling Magnolia content, especially if you need to manage assets in high volumes (100,000+ DAM assets).
For a brief overview of Solr's main features see the Solr search page. For module compatibility with Apache Solr and module release notes see the Solr module release notes page.
