Well, GSearch's search functionality for the Solr plugin depends on local file 
access to the lucene index directory, this can hardly be done for a remote solr 
instance. What gsearch could do is receiving a gfindObjects operation from you 
and passing it on to solr by sending a solr http request with the query. This 
is the extra web service call that I mentioned yesterday, because you might 
just as well send your http request directly to solr instead of through gsearch.
