dovecot - Apr 2021 - Search seems slow with apache solr

> Does you server have enough ram?
I think this may be the issue. I only have 1 GB of ram on the machine 
and I was just reading a blog post recommending at least 4 GB. I think 
what I'll do is set up a separate instance for solr and use that instead 
of running it on the same machine as dovecot.

Thanks for your feedback.

OK, I got solr working on a new virtual machine with a healthier 4 GB of 
ram. Initially, I experienced the same slowness as before as on the 1 GB 
machine. I went back and reviewed the documentation at 
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr and realized that I missed a 
critical step configuring solr with the proper xml config files.

After doing this, the search time is well below one second now.
