: FWIW, my next step was to work with the movie example file, which worked : perfectly and was a much, much better "getting started" intro. You could do : worse than to build a new tutorial/getting started from this example. : Dataset is way more fun, too -- a quality that should never be : underestimated in a tutorial.
Thanks for that feedback James - I have one followup question if you don't mind... >From your perspective as a new user, did you find it anoying/frustrating/confusing that the README.txt in the films example required/instructed you to first create a handful of fields using a curl command to hit the Schema API before you could index any of the documents? https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;a=blob;f=solr/example/films/README.txt -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
