Instead of SolrSharp or other libraries why not use SolrNet. It is easy to use and extremely flexible.

I've never used the Apache Solr project, but the .Net DSL looks fluent and straightforward.
Your examples seem like they could be easily interchanged with SQL queries, how does solr compare in terms of performance?

It would be hard to make a comparison per query bases, but if you generalize your question in terms of performance the short answer is it depends on what kind of data you have, and how you use it. SOLR is not a relational database, so if you have a lot of joins, etc you will end up impacting performance of your queries (note there is no join concept in solr, only recently grouping abilities were added).

Thanks for the post. It will be interesting to know some of the features in SolrNet.

This is about as concise an example as anyone could hope to find. Kicked!
