We've covered Acquia, which delivers commercial support for the powerful Drupal content management system a number of times. Acquia also delivers its own distribution of Drupal, and the company's co-founder (and also founder of Drupal) Dries Buytaert has now announced that the company has come out of beta testing with its version of Acquia Search. It's available at no cost as part of every Acquia Network subscription. If you're looking for a free, open source tool to run a web site, and need solid search and inexpensive support, the one-two punch that Drupal and Acquia offer may be just right for you.?

Dries Buytaert, founder of the Drupal content management system and co-founder of Acquia, which provides commercial support and services for Drupal, has an interesting screencast posted on his blog. It illustrates some of the services that Acquia provides for sites that run Drupal, (as OStatic does), and features the company's Bryan House demonstrating search functionality for use with Drupal, based on Apache Solr. If you're running Drupal or are interested in running it, the screencast is worth watching.
