: But this is a right out of the box install - I have only messed with : the schema to suit me.
when i use your schema with the current trunk using Jetty, right at startup my logs contain a "SolrException: Schema Parsing Failed" which is wrapping... Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: 'id' is not an indexed field:id{type=string,properties=stored} at org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.getIndexedField(IndexSchema.java:192) at org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.readConfig(IndexSchema.java:387) ... 21 more ...which is because if you want to use a uniqueKey field it must be indexed so deletes can be done. This didn't show up at all in your Tomcat logs on startup? or the first time you tried to do a search or an update? (it's in the SolrServlet.init method) -Hoss
