One more real-time option. I'm not sure if this would be easy, because my Solr-fu is not that strong.
You could somehow channel the content of the Solr indices of all the DSpace instances into a single Solr index and do searches on top of that. The open question here is how this would handle updates. I didn't do any research on that, but you could start here [1]. You might notice that this is Similar to the VuFind solution, because VuFind is just a thin UI on top of Solr. The difference is in the index schema. DSpace Solr (search core) and VuFind Solr (biblio core) schemas differ, that's why with VuFind you need import. You could skip that step here and maybe even use a DSpace instance as the UI (with modifications).
