Hey! I'm one of the websolr guys. Obviously, we're working on this problem, and it's a hard (but fun and rewarding) one for a number of reasons!

Search is fundamentally hard to put into the cloud, because it requires so many IO operations. In addition, delivering really high quality results requires machine learning and linguistics.

We have a few tricks up our sleeves to handle these issues, and I'm excited not only to shed the beta-ish feel, but to roll out some truly exiting features :) There's a "Review my startup" post coming pretty soon.
