This was several years ago, so perhaps things have changed, but I’m so happy using Solr (which is not only easier to control but also happens to be free and open source) that I would never consider going back to a GSA.

I would love to see a follow up article about further developments. Have any of the schools considered the possibility of Google Search Appliance (GSA) – http://www.google.com/enterprise/search/gsa.html. This is something that I looked into a while ago. I am interested in seeing how they compare.
