What happens if they search for "hello monkey" and match against
"hello my monkeys"? What should it return? Why does your database not
contain "hello" instead of 199?

I am saying because if your clients are truly searching for just one
word, then Solr may be an overkill for you. Perhaps you are looking
for just "indexOf" within a string with parallel offset->OCR data
structure. So, there is a hidden question in there of "why do you
choose Solr".

Then, there is a point that Solr searches words/numbers/geo-spacial
but returns documents. So, sometimes, you need to understand what is a
"document" for your business case. And transform your content for
that. E.g. if you are really just searching for one word, then maybe
you index your whole book as a bunch of document each containing a
word, its OCR offset information, its book id. And if it is a couple
of words, maybe you have a secondary field with context of that
sentence (in index-only) form.

Don't be afraid to abandon your first schema. Your business
requirement is different enough.

Regards,
   Alex.
