The extension "solr" contains an install script that downloads, unpacks 
and configures tomcat and solr for you.

The forge project has a very extensive wiki. The newsgroup (or mailing 
list or forum) for the solr project can easily help you with problems 
you encounter.

I used mnogosearch for one project and the major problem is that it is 
just a site crawler. Indexing records such as news, indexing pages that 
are only accessible for certain user groups, etc. is impossible. Also 
the way solr watches for changes in pages, content, etc. makes that the 
search index is updated quickly and doesn't have to wait for a new 
crawler process.

If mnogosearch suites your needs and if it works, you do have a fast 
search solution.
