+Title: Solr Features
+
+Solr is a standalone enterprise search server with a REST-like API. You put documents in it (called "indexing") via XML, JSON or binary over HTTP. You query it via HTTP GET and receive XML, JSON, or binary results.
+
+-  Advanced Full-Text Search Capabilities
+-  Optimized for High Volume Web Traffic
+-  Standards Based Open Interfaces - XML,JSON and HTTP
+-  Comprehensive HTML Administration Interfaces
+-  Server statistics exposed over JMX for monitoring
+-  Scalability - Efficient Replication to other Solr Search Servers
+-  Flexible and Adaptable with XML configuration
+-  Extensible Plugin Architecture
+
+##Solr Uses the Lucene Search Library and Extends it!
+
+-  A Real Data Schema, with Numeric Types, Dynamic Fields, Unique Keys
+-  Powerful Extensions to the Lucene Query Language
+-  Faceted Search and Filtering
+-  Geospatial Search
+-  Advanced, Configurable Text Analysis
+-  Highly Configurable and User Extensible Caching
+-  Performance Optimizations
+-  External Configuration via XML
+-  An Administration Interface
+-  Monitorable Logging
+-  Fast Incremental Updates and Index Replication
+-  Highly Scalable Distributed search with sharded index across multiple hosts
+-  JSON, XML, CSV/delimited-text, and binary update formats
+-  Easy ways to pull in data from databases and XML files from local disk and HTTP sources
+-  Rich Document Parsing and Indexing (PDF, Word, HTML, etc) using Apache Tika
+-  Apache UIMA integration for configurable metadata extraction
+-  Multiple search indices
+
+##Detailed Features
+
+###Schema
+
+- Defines the field types and fields of documents
+- Can drive more intelligent processing
+- Declarative Lucene Analyzer specification
+- Dynamic Fields enables on-the-fly addition of new fields
+- CopyField functionality allows indexing a single field multiple ways, or combining multiple fields into a single searchable field
+- Explicit types eliminates the need for guessing types of fields
+- External file-based configuration of stopword lists, synonym lists, and protected word lists
+- Many additional text analysis components including word splitting, regex and sounds-like filters
+
+###Query
+
+- HTTP interface with configurable response formats (XML/XSLT, JSON, Python, Ruby, PHP, Velocity, binary)
+- Sort by any number of fields, and by complex functions of numeric fields
+- Advanced DisMax query parser for high relevancy results from user-entered queries
+- Highlighted context snippets
+- Faceted Searching based on unique field values, explicit queries, date ranges, and numeric ranges
+- Multi-Select Faceting by tagging and selectively excluding filters
+- Spelling suggestions for user queries
+- More Like This suggestions for given document
+- Function Query - influence the score by user specified complex functions of
+numeric fields or query relevancy scores.
+- Range filter over Function Query results
+- Date Math - specify dates relative to "NOW" in queries and updates
+- Dynamic search results clustering using Carrot2
+- Numeric field statistics such as min, max, average, standard deviation
+- Combine queries derived from different syntaxes
+- Auto-suggest functionality for completing user queries
+- Allow configuration of top results for a query, overriding normal scoring and sorting
+- Performance Optimizations
+
+###Core
+
+- Dynamically create and delete document collections without restarting
+- Pluggable query handlers and extensible XML data format
+- Pluggable user functions for Function Query
+- Customizable component based request handler with distributed search support
+- Document uniqueness enforcement based on unique key field
+- Duplicate document detection, including fuzzy near duplicates
+- Custom index processing chains, allowing document manipulation before indexing
+- User configurable commands triggered on index changes
+- Ability to control where docs with the sort field missing will be placed
+- "Luke" request handler for corpus information
+
+###Caching
+
+- Configurable Query Result, Filter, and Document cache instances
+- Pluggable Cache implementations, including a lock free, high concurrency implementation
+- Cache warming in background
+-  When a new searcher is opened, configurable searches are run against
+  it in order to warm it up to avoid
+  slow first hits.  During warming, the current searcher handles live requests.
+- Autowarming in background
+- The most recently accessed items in the caches of the current
+  searcher are re-populated in the new searcher, enabling high cache hit
+  rates across index/searcher changes.
+- Fast/small filter implementation
+- User level caching with autowarming support
+
+###Replication
+
+- Efficient distribution of index parts that have changed
+- Pull strategy allows for easy addition of searchers
+- Configurable distribution interval allows tradeoff between timeliness and cache utilization
+- Replication and automatic reloading of configuration files
+
+###Admin Interface
+
+- Comprehensive statistics on cache utilization, updates, and queries
+- Interactive schema browser that includes index statistics
+- Replication monitoring
+- Full logging control
+- Text analysis debugger, showing result of every stage in an analyzer
+- Web Query Interface w/ debugging output
+- Parsed query output
+- Lucene explain() document score detailing
+- explain score for documents outside of the requested range to debug why a given document wasn't ranked higher.
