Hi Fabio, Yes, you're on right track.
I'd like to now direct you to first reply from Jack to go through solr tutorial. Even with Solr,, it will take some time to learn various bits and pieces about designing fields, their field types, server configuration, etc. and then tune the results to match the results that you're currently getting from the database. There is lots of info available for Solr on web and do check Lucidworks' Solr Reference Guide. http://docs.lucidworks.com/display/solr/Apache+Solr+Reference+Guide;jsessionid=16ED0DB3B6F6BE8CEC6E6CDB207DBC49 Best of Solr Luck!
