I got your and Michael's point. Indeed, I'm not very skilled in web devolpment
so there may be something that I'm missing. Anyway, Endeca does something like
this:
1. accept a query
2. does the stemming;
3. check if the result of the step 2. matches one of the redirectable words. If
so, returns an URL, otherwise returns the regular matching documents (our
products' description).
Do you think that in Solr I will be able to replicate this behaviour without
writing a custom plugin (request handler, response writer, etc)? Maybe I'm a
little dense, but I fail to see how it would be possible...

Either way (Endeca's 307, which seems crazy to me) or simply plucking off a
"url" field from the first document returned in a search request... you're
getting a URL back to your client and then using that URL to further send back
to a users browser, I presume. I personally wouldn't implement it with a
custom response writer, just get the URL from the standard Solr response.
