7 - How to create a view using ApacheSolr? How am I able to create a view using ApacheSolr as base in Drupal 7?

All I can see when creating a new View, is ApacheSolr localhost server which doesn't give me the fields that I need, found few links online but none of them helped! very confused!

I am using :


Apache 7.x-1.0-rc4
Drupal 7
Views 7.x-3.5
Apache Solr Search Integration 7.x-1.0-beta1
I add a full response.

If you want a full integration with Solr and Views you should use Search api with Search Api Solr (there several modules that work with Search Api, see the Search Api page).

You will be able to:


create search pages (like normal search pages), with Search Api Pages
create every type of view based on the Solr Index, using filters, relations, contextual filters
add facet, with http://drupal.org/project/facetapi, to search pages and views


There are many usefule modules that work with Search Api: autocompletation, indexing files, create index on file taxonomies and users, spellcheck, sorts, ranges, saved searches etc.

Every day I use Search Api at work, for views and for default search, I think is the best solution.
