1 - A field that is called "type" which is probably a string field
that you index values such as "people", "organization", "product".
2 - Yes, for each document you are indexing, you will include it's
type, ie. "person"
3, 4, 5 - You would have a core for each domain. Each domain will
then have it's own index that contains documents of all types. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/MultipleIndexes
.

Some newbie questions:
(1) What is a "type field"? Is it to designate different types of
documents, e.g. product descriptions and forum postings?
(2) Would I include such a "type field" in the data I send to the
update
facility and maybe configure Solr to take special action depending on
the value of the update field?
(3) Like, write the processing results to a domain dedicated to that
type of data that I could limit my search to, as per Otis' post?
(4) And is that what's called a "core" here?
(5) Or, failing (3), and lumping everything together in one search
domain (core?), would I use that "type field" to limit my search to
a particular type of data?
