Solr Full Text Search Plugin
==============================

Created by Peter Pisljar (June 2014)

Requires Calibre >= 1.4(actually I think, it will run on much earlier versions)


This Plugin uses Solr as a backend program to do a full text search inside the whole library and then display the matches in calibre.

It is build very simple and has only a few self explaining features.

Install
==============================

Steps to get this plugin working:
1. install "solrfulltextsearch_plugin.zip" plugin as usual in calibre
2. unzip "solr_dist.zip" somewhere on your hard drive
3. install java jre 1.7 (it wont work on earlier versions)
4. in calibre open solr full text search preferences
4.1 set calibre library dir to your library dir. use forward slashes (even on windows) and dont include end /
4.2 set your jre path. if its in the path you dont need to do this.
4.3 set path to solr dir (where you unzipped it in step 2)
5. click "create solr index" to create new index. this will take a while. currently there is no reporting on the process. but you can open your browser to http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/dataimport to see the status.
6. once index is created you can click solr full text search and browser will open with the search application. it will search full book contents and show you snippets.
