title: Solr search query using rest API
body: <p>My requirement is to send a search query to the Solr server through a Rest API and retrieve results.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a facility to send search queries using a Rest API?</p>
  
  <p>If the non-rest query is <code>field1:name1</code>, what should the body of the JSON would be? (assuming there exist such a facility in Solr)</p>
