Over the weekend, I read some of "Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server". I learned about a few more features. When multiple keywords are provided, Solr does the right thing. Documents that hit or more words tend to get a higher score. The more rare a word is, the more a hit on it is worth. Solr provides built-in support for both stemming and paging.
I have defined a Solr schema and ingested some XML formatted data using curl (curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update -F stream.file=/tmp/sampleData.xml). Note that the absolute path of the file must be provided. The added data will not searchable until a commit is performed.
The data can be searched using the Solr admin tool or by providing a URL. The URL to search for all the data is http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*%3A*, where %3A is the code for :.
The current schema is not at all complete. Layer coordinates are simply being stored as a bounding box where each coordinate is of type tdouble. We should probably consider ingesting the the XML meta data directly. However, one item lacking from the XML is document boost.
