Setting up filters and search like Drupal.org [#495454]

Hi there, I'm trying to find info on the setup of Drupal.org.
Specifically I'm trying to set up my page to emulate the drupal.org/project/modules page.
I'm interested to know how the site is set up so that clicking "modules" brings you to the /project/modules page, and how on that page there is a "search" modules additional search box, and a series of filters (eg compatibility).

How is all that set up? I understand that it runs on ApacheSolr. I am using the ApacheSolr module on my site, and can't get the content organized that way.
Is "modules" a "taxonomy group" or is it a "content type"?
How are the filters set up? Are they filtering for content type or for taxonomy.

Thanks for any help
JR

Seriously? A full year later and no one can shed a little light on this guy's question?

Is this information published somewhere obvious?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Like at the project_solr sub-module of the project module.

I actually got this issue sorted, but I forgot to update this thread.
I tried to use apache_solr, but it wasn't *exactly* what I was looking for. So I switched to the faceted search module
http://drupal.org/project/faceted_search

Thanks for the reminder to update :p
