Ask the people who run the site?

Thanks for the reminder: I need to add some sites there.
If you got it, flaunt it :-)

Won't work. Many front-ends, such as the excellent Haystack for
Django, will not expose raw Solr queries by default.

Paul's answer is correct.  There is usually no way to know for sure,
unless you ask the website operators.  Secure implementations will not
expose Solr to the outside world.

If you see evidence that faceted search is happening, there is a
reasonable chance that it's Solr ... but even then you cannot be sure,
because other search products have facets too.  A strong example of
faceted search is the "narrow your choices" options in the left column
on Newegg.  I believe they are using Solr, but I do not know that for sure.

Not with certainty as solr may be working far behind another set of tools that 
make queries (and nothing licensing prevents it).
If you get a software that has maybe Solr inside, I think the credits section 
should include a mention of some sort.
However, there may be hints if a website uses solr, and that would be by 
following http queries (e.g. with the web-inspector) and finding commonalities 
with the standard solr params (see here 
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters).

Hi,

Some site owners put themselves here :

https://wiki.apache.org/solr/PublicServers



Besides, I would try *:* match all docs query.
