Great. > How can I get SOLR to search web sites and also search through other types of > files, databases, etc? Solr does not crawl websites. You probably want Nutch, or some other crawler.

There are more examples that cover files, DB, etc. Please do ask here if you run into issues. > Also can you point me to a SOLR Guide or documentation? I did not see any > detailed documentation. Er, what? Solr is probably among the best-documented FOSS projects, and I can honestly say that because I have done none of the aforesaid documentation :-) the SolrWiki is fantastic: * Complete list: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FrontPage * Initial tutorial: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html * For easy data import from a database, you could consider using the DataImportHandler: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler > Please show me where can I post messages on the SOLR web site. Not sure what that means. Regards, Gora
