Solr tries to be agnostic about how the content being indexed is being
created. For solr everything is a string (or number). It is upto you to
use/write an indexer which can extract data out of your mime types and send
them to solr.

Some good places to start are:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler (supports getting data from
DB/XML/HTTP)
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler (supports office
documents, pdf and many others)

Hope that helps.
