the main issue i see with it is that the API isn't "designed" much. aka it just exposes lots of features with dedicated methods, but doesnt focus on keeping the API easy to overview (aka keep simple things simple and make complex stuff possible). at the same time fundamental stuff like quoting are not covered. that being said, i do not think we really need a proliferation of solr API's for PHP, even if this one is based on PHP 5.3 (namespaces etc). btw there is already another PHP 5.3 based API, though it tries to also unify other Lucene based API's as much as possible: https://github.com/dstendardi/Ariadne regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org
