Erick, I’m not sure of anything. I’m new to Solr and find the documentation extremely confusing. I’ve searched the web and found tutorials/advice, but they generally refer to older versions of Solr, and refer to methods/settings/whatever that no longer exist. That’s why I’m asking for help here.
I looked at the list of fields in the schema browser, and ‘content' is not there. If that is not enough to ‘assume’ that the content is not being indexed, then please enlighten me as to what is. I inserted the docs in batches by posting them, following the ‘Quick Start’ tutorial. It seemed like a safe assumption that the tutorial on the Solr site would be correct and produce desirable results. What I really want to do is index the XML versions of the documents which have been run through another system, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that. I’ve tried, but the documentation about XML makes no sense to me. I thought indexing the PDF versions would be easier and more straightforward, but perhaps that is not the case.
