Hi Erlend,

Hi Karl,

Thank you for replying and for your comments. It's very appreciated.

(1) The best way to find out what ManifoldCF thinks it is doing is to
look at the Simple History report in the UI.

It says:

01-20-2011 15:14:18.914 document ingest (solr_indexer) http://ridder.uio.no/
        500     588     9       lazy loading error
01-20-2011 15:14:18.800         fetch   http://ridder.uio.no/
        200     588     103     
01-20-2011 15:13:18.581 document ingest (solr_indexer) http://ridder.uio.no/
        500     588     16      lazy loading error
01-20-2011 15:13:18.448         fetch   http://ridder.uio.no/
        200     588     111


(2) The Web Connector in ManifoldCF does not have the ability, at this
time, to extract links from Word docs, pdfs, etc., but Solr can
extract *content* from these documents if you configure it to use
Tika.  The document is sent to Solr in binary form, and Tika extracts
whatever metadata it can find.  ManifoldCF does not get involved in
that at all.  Usually, setting up Solr with anonymous fields is the
way to go in this case.

Thanks for clarifying. I can try to configure Solr to parse these documents. Nutch did a good job except that it cannot detect whether a document was modified in order to send an update/delete commando to Solr. That function is crucial for us.

I'm unsure about what you mean by anonymous fields in Solr. I cannot define the fields I need in schema.xml as I want? I have created duplicate fields for title and content in order to use different stemmers (I need to support English and Norwegian). In Nutch there is a simple configuration file for mapping fields from Nutch to Solr.

If this is an open site, I'll crawl it here myself momentarily and let
you know what I find.

Please do that. It's just my workstation with an Apache server running. It's open.

BTW, I think I have set things up correctly for the crawler:
Seeds: http://ridder.uio.no/
Inclusions: ^http://ridder.uio.no/.* (checked for "include only hosts matching seeds)

I havent't filled out the "expiration interval (if continuous)." under the scheduling folder. Is this the reason why ManifoldCF is recrawling the page every minute?
