I am needing to index primarily .doc files but also need it to look at .pdf and .xls files. I am currently looking at the Tika project for this functionality.

There is a ruby application called flare but I haven't used it myself. People usually build their own applications and use Solr as a search server. > 2.)

Some good starting points on deciding the schema are: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaDesign http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UniqueKey > 3.)

You can either write a program to push data to Solr or use a plugin like DataImportHandler to do this. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler What are the kind of files you are indexing? -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
