Thanks Yonik! In case anyone monitoring this list isn't sold already on solr, my use of solr is pretty non-standard -- I've written nearly a dozen plugins to customize it for my particular needs. Yet I've been able to do everything I need using plugins and without modifying the core code. It works like a charm.
