One note of warning regarding the indices: Unless you think ahead a little and plan for 2 separate indices, you'll run into trouble as soon as you deploy to production. I cover the issue a little here: http://blog.aisleten.com/2007/04/14/getting-started-with-acts_as_solr/

and I provide one possible solution here:

Michael,

There is indeed, but on the table level. Lets say you have a table
called books which contains lots of data, you can just create a model
Book and do the following:

class Book < < ActiveRecord::Base
 acts_as_solr
end

Then you can just open script/console and type:
 Book.rebuild_solr_index

Also its good to look at the acts_as_solr's api
(http://acts-as-solr.rubyforge.org) for a complete list of options you
can pass in.

After Rob's enlightening presentation last night, I was inspired to
try out Solr and acts_as_solr.

Is there a way to get Solr to index an existing database? I know I
could create a big xml file, but it seems that the plugin might have
some sort of shortcut for that.
