Search engine for small intranet - Nutch or Manifold?

I'd like to setup a search engine for a small intranet. For this I was looking at Apache Nutch, which could crawl the intranet and store results in Apache Solr. A nice-looking frontent would still have to be found or developed. Then I found Apache Manifold CF, which seems to perform the exact same job.

So now my question: What is the difference between these two? And even more, what would be criterions to decide which to pick?

If you want an Admin UI, you can use ManifoldCF, you probably don't need to write code for this kind of tasks.

You could just create and schedule a new job setting the repository connection with a web connector and setting Solr Connector as the output connector, it should just work in this way.

But consider that it is also including a REST API, a scripting language and a brand new SDK to facilitate developers to extend the platform with custom connectors: https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf-sdk
