Solr does not search any folders. you will have to index the contents of your folder into Solr. Fairly straightforward to have some script that loops over a directory and sends files (or file paths/URLs) to the extracting request handler. Erik

You can either write a program to push data to Solr or use a plugin like DataImportHandler to do this. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler What are the kind of files you are indexing? -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.

Implementing Solr for the first time
I am new to Solr and trying to get it set up to index files from a directory structure on a server. I have a few questions. 1.) Is there an application that will return the search results in a user friendly format? 2.) How do I move Solr from the example environment into a production environment? 3.) Will Solr search through multiple folders when indexing and if so can I specify which folders to index from? I have looked through the tutorial, the Docs, and the FAQ and am still having problems making sense of it. Kevin Miller Oklahoma Tax Commission Web Services
