SolrNet is an Apache Solr client for .NET.

SolrNet does not attempt to abstract much over Solr, it's assumed that you know what Solr is and how to use it, just as you need to know relational databases before using an ORM.

If you're not familiar with Solr, take your time to follow the Solr tutorial, see the FAQ and the docs. Consider getting a book.

SolrNet is built using the SOLID principles. It's not mandatory to know about them in order to use the library, but it will certainly help and you will probably need it for advanced integration scenarios.
