Searching against Solr #52

Chris, is it possible to point this package to a Solr location - passing the native lucene queries it builds from OData?

Thanks.

The library is heavily tied to Lucene.Net constructs like Directory, IndexSearcher and IndexReader. To do this well it would probably be necessary to split out the LINQ query translation engine from the query execution and object mapping engine and replace them with something that sends the query to Solr and maps the response onto objects.

You currently can capture the query before it executes by using a custom IDocumentMapper that overrides PrepareSearchSettings, although you would have to set up a fake local RAMDirectory to get the library far enough along to get you to that point.
