Thanks a lot Alex for your reply, Appreciate the same.

So if i leave the line no part.
1. I guess putting pdf/word  in solr for search can be done, These
documents will go go in solr.
2. For search any automatic way to give a excel sheet or large search
keywords to search for .
ie i have 1000's of words that i want to search in doc can i do it
collectively or send search queries one by one.

Thanks
Saurabh
