Hi Ankita, first: thanks for trying apache solr.
> does all the data to be indexed has to be in exampledocs folder? No. And there are several ways to push data into solr: via indexing, dataimporthandler, solrj, ... I know that getting comfortable with a new project is a bit complicated at first, but you should try to read some more information available at the wiki etc. before publishing posts in a rush. (keep in mind that a mailing list is mostly driven by people in their freetime) Here are some links: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrResources http://www.packtpub.com/article/indexing-data-solr-1.4-enterprise-search-server-1 http://www.packtpub.com/article/indexing-data-solr-1.4-enterprise-search-server-2 Another nice documentation is: http://www.lucidimagination.com/Downloads/LucidWorks-for-Solr/Reference-Guide Hope you don't misunderstand me wrong! So, ask if you need help, but try to dig into deeper before!
