I'm working on a Drupal-7 site where we want to be able to search BOTH on the site contents, AND on content from one or more other sites which are not managed by Drupal at all. I have a very hazy idea of how Solr works (I'm just getting started on the subject and looking at various ways of searching), but was wondering whether it would be possible to use MultiSite Search to allow my Drupal 7 site to return results both from its own content and from external, non-Drupal content.
If that is possible, would there be any way of indexing the non-Drupal content in such a way that I could also benefit from Search Facets on the non-Drupal content?

Short answer: yes, if the other site(s) implemented the same structure (e.g., mimicked Drupal's own usage of the Solr fields... hence, it would "look like a Drupal site using Solr").
