Looking for third party CMS to integrate with an MVC site [closed]

Question

I am looking at the posibility of integrating a third party component into our MVC-based site. We have an MVC-based portal that is hosted in the cloud and need document handling and search features without taking the full job of implementing it from scratch.

Is there any other third party systems that are cloud compatible and provide an API for handling documents, security and full text search?

Orchard is a free, open source, community-focused project aimed at delivering applications and reusable components on the ASP.NET platform.

In the near term, the Orchard project is focused on delivering a .NET-based CMS application that will allow users to rapidly create content-driven Websites, and an extensibility framework that will allow developers and customizers to provide additional functionality through module extensions and themes.

It is built using of ASP.NET MVC as a foundation

It can run in the cloud: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Deploying-Orchard-to-Windows-Azure

It can do text search.

Check out Apache Solr. Solr adds some incredible support on top of Lucene (java). I know it seems as though you want a .net solution, however I will say that solr has a fantastic HTTP interface, so you can easily connect it via services.
