Correction, Solr *could*, CF won't. In short, the CF9 implementation of Solr doesn't tap into all the goodiness that Solr provides (like defining properly named custom fields in your collections and much much more).
Solr is awesome. If you have the time for a little learning curve, I'd highly recommend using Solr directly and wrapping api calls to it in some component of your making. You'll never look back. Once you're comfortable creating the custom configurations for collections, you will have so much more power at your fingertips. I started writing stuff up but have become swamped since: http://fusion.dominicwatson.co.uk/2010/12/apache-solr-or-departing-from-confines.html Hopefully it'll inspire you to take the leap!
