Hello, I just started to investigate Solr several weeks ago. Our current project uses Verity search engine which is commercial product and the company is out of business. I am trying to evaluate if Solr can meet our requirements. I have following questions.
1. Currently we use Verity and have more than 20 collections, each collection has a index for public items and a index for private items. So there are virtual collections which point to each collection and a virtual collection which points to all. For example, we have AA and BB collections. AA virtual collection --> (AA index for public items and AA index for private items). BB virtual collection --> (BB index for public items and BB index for private items). All virtual collection --> (AA index for public items and AA index for private items, BB index for public items and BB index for private items). Would you please tell me what I should do for this if I use Solr? 2. Our project has different kind format files I need index them. For example, xml files, pdf files and text files. Is it possible for Solr to return a search result from all? 3. I got a error when I index pdf files which are version 1.5 or 1.6. Would you please tell me if there is a patch to fix it? Thanks so much in advance,
