Unfortunately the Solr source does not ship with the source of the manual. (Directory /docs only contains a link to the online manual.)
The docs directory is not where the manual lives. In the source code download, the solr/docs directory has an HTML version of the CHANGES.txt file. A clone of the git repository will not contain a docs directory at all. If you see a /docs directory at the top level of the download, especially if it contains a link the the online guide, then you do not have the source code, you have a binary release of Solr.
If you either download the source tarball from the Solr website or pull the source down from the git repository, you will find the manual in solr/solr-ref-guide. With a git repository, you can use "git grep XXX" and with either method you can use "grep -r XXX solr/solr-ref-guide".
We'd love to use Solr to power the online ref guide search, but there are some hurdles to doing that. The infrastructure that Apache has provided to its projects is extensive, but doesn't currently accommodate that kind of setup.
Thanks, Shawn
