Now that I'm getting the indexing process under control, my next step is to learn how to exploit the searching mechanism. Thanks bunches!

Alas, no and yes regarding autocommit. No, my solrconfig.xml has not turned on autocommit. Yes, despite what the WebService::Solr pod says about the commit method, the underlying WebService::Solr code turns on autocommit by default. For better or for worse, WebService::Solr gives you autocommit for free. I believe the best course of action here is to update the WebService::Solr pod to reflect what the code actually does.

Using fq, your example would look like this: &q=library&fq=subject:"Computer Science" Regarding adding facet constraints to a new search when drilling down, rather than ANDing it together like you have as “library AND subject:’Computer Science’”, I recommend using Solr’s fq (filter query) parameter.

It seems you have autocommit enabled in solrconfig.xml - though it usually more advisable to control this from the indexing client and disable Solr-side autocommit. Commit doesn’t come for free.
