: So I have the following at the bottom of my schema.xml file : : : <similarity class="org.apache.solr.search.similarities.ClassicSimilarityFactory"></similarity> : </schema> : : The documentation says "top level element" - so should that actually be outside the schema tag?
No, the schema tag is the "root" level element, it's direct children are the "top level elements" (the wording may not be the best possible, but the goal was to emphasis that to have the behavior you're looking need to make sure you don't just add it to a single fieldType, or mistakenly put it inside one the of the legacy <fields> or <types> blocks) -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
