How to use solr api for searching but without using web app
Hi, I have played with the solr example web app, it works well. I wonder how
do I do the same searching, or faceted searching without relying on the web
application, i.e., sending request by urls etc. In other words, essentially
how does the search and faceting work? Could you please point me to
something (other than the web app) to start with... many thanks!

If you want to understand how Solr works, start with Yonik's intro to Solr
slides from ApacheConEU2006 ... then dig into the code. the javadocs are
online, and most of the major classes are well documented. if you start
with the SolrDispatchFilter you can trace the flow of logic for each
request through all of hte various key classes/methods.

if you'd like a high level overview of how faceting works, start with my
slides from ApacheConUS2006, then look at this wiki...
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters
...and note the link to the "SimpleFaceets" javadocs that's the class to
drill into to see how it actually works
Regarding your broader question...
the guts of Solr can be embedded into another Java application, but it is
definitely "advanced" usage ... i personally don't recommend it...
