By placing these blocks in regions of your site and configuring the Solr module under administer>Islandora Solr client, you can facilitate both full-text searching and faceted searching of items ingested using Solution Packs. The basic configuration of Solr can be modified to change the weight of search fields, and extend the out-of-the-box functionality. Information for doing this is provided in Chapter 7 : - Customizing Islandora.

Each field label will display the proper syntax for adding it to your Solr search configuration. A full list of the terms made available by the schema provided in the module package is provided in [in APPENDIX D - SOLR SCHEMA (SEARCH) Term Reference|ISLANDORATEMP:APPENDIX D - SOLR SCHEMA (SEARCH) Term Reference]. . Note that you will want to use fields that have been indexed as "text" here.
