I guess you are using forrest 0.8, right?
forrest 0.9
Do you use the plugin with the dispatcher or with skins?
I am pretty new to Forrest. I've gone through documentation relating
to this but don't have a handle on it yet. I've built the plugin,
added it to required plugins, copied the jar to the web app, and I
know I am successfully calling through to my solr server. i would
like to add the forrest:contracts and have the buttons in the action
bar, but documentation doesn't adequately specify which files those
need to be added to and my knowledge doesn't cover the gaps yet. I
find-grepped forrest:contract and only found a few examples deep
within skins that don't even appear to be active (leather-dev where
the active skin is pelt).
In any way requesting
http://localhost:8080/YOUR_PROJECT/solr-search.html?
version=2.2&hl=true&hl.fl=content&fl=id,title&indent=on&rows=10&start=
0&q=test
This returns the correct search results.
If you do not run solr on default port you need to change
<property name="solr.select.url"
value="http://localhost:8983/solr/select"/>
in your forrest.properties.xml
Yes, I've changed this to http://localhost:8084/solr/select
I create a link to the solr-search page in Forrest but I don't see a
way to get a field containing the query and pass it to the search
operation.
The link works and dispatches the way I want. It just doesn't provide
any search terms. When I provide them myself by appending ?q=some-
terms to the url it returns the results I am looking for.
There are a number of cocoon forms examples that pass query
parameters from a form entry field but forms are disallowed by the
DTD in Forrest. I could try to override or extend the Forrest google/
lucene search panel but I don't want a web site search widget, I want
a search page in the website that searches an entirely different site.

I have Forrest and this plugin working in a Tomcat environment.
However, I cannot figure out how to pass the query string, and my
results aren't transformed. If you have any ideas, please let me
know.

should return something. We use more or less the same parameter as in
solr directly (q is the query parameter).
As mentioned in
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/
org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.solr/
If you do not run solr on default port you need to change
<property name="solr.select.url"
value="http://localhost:8983/solr/select"/>
