[open-literature] Solr on OKF projects

  Hi Rufus,

Thanks for this. I'll have a play with both Xapian and Solr here, though 
I suspect that Xapian might be the better option for Open Correspondence 
as it leaves it in line with the Shakespeare / Milton sets of code. I'll 
see and come back and bear in mind the set up costs of Solr.
