How to enable realtime search in Solr 4.0

Question

I’m trying to enable realtime search in Solr 4.0 (So I can see new documents without committing).

I’ve added:

<realtime visible="0" facet="true">true</realtime>

But documents aren’t seen before commit (or softCommit). Any help will be appreciated.

• I believe this feature is only available in Solr RA but any information on how to achieve it will be great.

Thanks, Avner

As far as my understanding this can't be done in Solr 4.0 but only in Solr-ra http://solr-ra.tgels.com Solr 4.0 has the soft commit feature which helps with NRT search requirements. It has a new feature which supports the get operation without commit by enabling logged update but without the search capabilities.
