read only access to prepopulated solr I'm new to apachesolr/solr/drupal so please be patient (:

I have running solr-4.10.3 inside tomcat 8 and have "successfully" connected to it from drupal 7 via apachesolr.

The solr core that I've set up is already populated with external data and I can search it successfully from the SOLR web interface. The population was not done through drupal/apachesolr indexing mechanism, but directly into solr.

How can I search my data?

I can see my fields when I go to 

http://localhost:8080/site/#overlay=admin/reports/apachesolr/solr

but they are all listed as "NOT INDEXED"

I'd appreciate any help or advice.

I can recommend taking a look at Sarnia 


  Sarnia allows a Drupal site to interact with and display data from Solr cores with arbitrary schemas, mainly by building views. This is useful for Solr cores that index large, external (ie, non-Drupal) datasets that either aren't practical to store in Drupal or that are already indexed in Solr.
