  <h3>Using Solr</h3>
  
  <p>While the answer for that question is excellent, I was wondering if I could make use of all the time I spent getting to know SOLR for my NLP.</p>
  
  <p>I thought of SOLR because:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>It's got a bunch of tokenizers and performs a lot of NLP.</li>
  <li>It's pretty use to use out of the box.</li>
  <li>It's restful distributed app, so it's easy to hook up</li>
  <li>I've spent some time with it, so using could save me time.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <h3>Can I use Solr?</h3>
  
  <p>Although the above reasons are good, I don't know SOLR THAT well, so I need to know if it would be appropriate for my requirements.</p>
  
  <h3>Ideal Usage</h3>
  
  <p>Ideally, I'd like to configure SOLR, and then be able to send SOLR some text, and retrieve the indexed tonkenized content.</p>
  
  <h3>Context</h3>
  
  <p>I'm working on a small component of a bigger recommendation engine.</p>
