Hi Solr users, I hope you can help. We are migrating our intranet web site management system to Windows 2008 and need a replacement for Index Server to do the text searching. I am trying to establish if Lucene and Solr is a feasible replacement, but I cannot find the answers to these questions:
1. Can Solr be set up to recursively index a folder containing an indeterminate and variable large number of subfolders, containing files of all types: XML, HTML, PDF, DOC, spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, text files etc. If so, how? 2. Can Solr be queried over the web and return a list of files that match a search query entered by a user, and also return the abstracts for these files, as well as 'hit highlighting'. If so, how? 3. Can Solr be run as a service (like Index Server) that automatically detects changes to the files within the indexed folder and updates the index? If so, how?
