Differing Apache Solr results when doing queries through Drupal – why?

Question

I\'m trying to create a custom search interface for Apache Solr using Drupal, and I\'m having some strange issues with the results.

I have the same query yielding 8 hits

Answer 1

The request handler (qt parameter) might be different. When not defined (the Drupal query doesn't define it) Solr uses the default handler. Maybe the default handler configured is not the standard request handler... check your solrconfig.xml
