Solr is indexing the encoded XML - so you are getting amp, acute, 
aacute, and similar terms in your index.

Looking at the XML that you are indexing, it doesn't contain XML encoded 
accented characters.  It contains XML encoding of HTML encoding.  As a 
specific example, your XML file contains this:

&amp;eacute;

The correct way to encode this would be the following:

&eacute;

There is a problem with this, however.  This is HTML encoding, not XML 
encoding.  This fails when you try to index it in Solr:

Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Undeclared general 
entity "eacute"

If I put the accented character right in the XML without the XML or HTML 
encoding, it works correctly.

Thanks,
