Documentation on web

• solrconfig.xml
  • solrconfig.xml is the file that contains most of the parameters for configuring Solr itself.
• schema.xml
  • The schema.xml file contains all of the details about which fields your documents can contain, and how those fields should be dealt with when adding documents to the index, and when querying those fields.
  • We are using a schema.xml produced by Haystack, and then altered as seen above.
