I’d just like to point out that Neha may have a use case that isn’t the typical “do a keyword search and return search results, Google-like 10 at a time.” I know that may well be the most common use case for Solr, but some of don’t do that. For example, we use Solr to find up to 2500 matching documents, return their IDs and some facets, and then the app takes it from there to do the presentation and paging. For us, Solr can’t do the paging we need it to do. Getting back thousands of records that are fairly small (just some IDs) is something Solr does just fine at. Andy
