Can I integrate Solr with Sharepoint with out using Lucene Connector Framework

Question

Can I integrate Solr with Sharepoint with out using Lucene Connector Framework. if so should I make Solr Index the Sharepoint's underlying database ? Will this produce successful search results ?

Answer 1

To get text into Solr, you need to be able to extract it. The Lucene Connector Framework is meant to do just that. If you somehow get the raw text another way, you may use the DataImportHandler to import information. If you index text correctly, and configure the schema well, you should be able to get successful search results.
