Koha is not switching to Solr, but now (in master) you can choose
between using Solr or Zebra. (YMMV with other software based
originally on Koha). This is already working in the master branch.
Also, in Koha itself using zebra (I don't know what the forks are
doing) you can now use DOM indexing which is much more powerful than
the old indexing methods.

But we want to do much more than that, if you look at the thread starting here
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2012-July/033634.html

You will see what the future plans are. (This does include did you mean).

Hope this helps
