Hi. Can I submit standard Solr queries to my Drupal site using Apache Solr Search Integration, via URL? For instance, appending a valid Solr query to:

http://site.com/?q=search/apachesolr_search/&

... etc? If yes, anything I need to know re: syntax?

If this were possible it seems I could just build a menu-driven faceted search UI without having to build facets via a custom module - is that the case (I am a Solr newbie and have gotten the impression that dynamic filtering and faceting are possible via URL search strings - am I wrong)?

Would "retain filters", "current search" block, and other Apache Solr Search Integration functionality work with such queries?

Thanks so much for any response.

That's not possible with this module. In D7, it may be possible to extend search_api to do that. Views integration in D7 may allow for a menu-driven faceted search UI.
