Hi Erik,
the first link on page 33 on the Solr Reference Guide is a wrong one.
The text of the link http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=video, but the
link itself points to http://localhost:8080/solr/select?q=video (the
difference
is port 8983 vs. 8080).

Subject: New Certified Distribution for Solr with free Solr Reference Guide
I'm excited to announce the release of Lucid's certified distribution for
Solr. Below is the marketing blurb, but a bit of a personal take first.
The reference guide is a must-have for all of us (including myself), many
great details about how all the config options work, etc. And it's
*searchable* :) (see link below)
What about the actual certified distribution itself? Being all about
the open source myself, why would I want to use it? The advantage to me
personally include the pre-configured features such as clustering (which
doesn't come fully functional with Solr itself due to Apache licensing
restrictions) and, of course, my baby Solritas as a starter search UI
view.
Feel free to personally send me feedback with the certified distro and
the reference guide, or for that matter any thoughts on how Lucid can
help you or the community.
Thanks,
Erik

LucidWorks Certified Distribution for Solr 1.4 is available from Lucid
Imagination, free with registration. It now includes with a comprehensive
375-page reference guide, and an installer, available free at
http://download.lucidimagination.com. You can download the Certified
Distribution as a .jar file, or download the reference guide as a
standalone. The reference guide is also available for search online at
http://search.lucidimagination.com
Key topics covered in the Reference Guide include:
* Getting Started: This chapter guides you through the installation
and set-up of the LucidWorks for Solr Certified Distribution.
* Using the Admin Web Interface: introduces the Solr Web interface.
From your browser, you can view configuration files, submit queries, view
logfile settings and Java environment settings, and monitor and control
distributed configurations.
* Documents, Fields, and Schema Design: describes how Solr organizes
its data for indexing. It explains how a Solr schema defines the fields
and field types which Solr uses to organize data within the document
files it indexes.
* Understanding Analyzers, Tokenizers, and Filters: explains how Solr
prepares text for indexing and searching. Analyzers parse text and
produce a stream of tokens, lexical units used for indexing and
searching. Tokenizers break field data down into tokens. Filters perform
other transformational or selective work on token streams.
* Indexing and Basic Data Operations: describes the indexing process
and basic index operations, such as commit, optimize, and rollback.
* Searching: presents an overview of the search process in Solr. It
describes the main components used in searches, including request
handlers, query parsers, and response writers. It lists the query
parameters that can be passed to Solr, and it describes features such as
boosting and faceting, which can be used to fine-tune search results.
* The Well Configured Solr Instance: discusses performance tuning for
Solr. It tells you how to configure multiple SolrCores, how to configure
the Lucene index writer, and more.
* Managing Solr: discusses important topics for running and
monitoring Solr. It describes running Solr in the Apache Tomcat servlet
runner and Web server. It also describes LucidGaze, Lucid Imagination's
tool for statistical reporting about Solr. Other topics include how to
back up a Solr instance, and how to run Solr with Java Management
Extensions (JMX).
* Scaling and Distribution: tells you how to grow a Solr distribution
by dividing a large index into sections called shards, which are then
distributed across multiple servers, or by replicating a single index
across multiple services.
* Client APIs: tells you how to access Solr through various client
APIs, including JavaScript, JSON, and Ruby.
