many thanks for this great module.

it would be really interesting (my site has 300,000 nodes) if I could make some blocks for apachesolr search (the same form as Drupal Core search) so that whenever somebody searches for a term on my site, the blocks display Google search results, while the main body is displaying site search results.

is there already a way of doing this?

One approach would be to write a plugin that gets the query parameters/filters from Apache Solr current query and passes them to GAS as search keywords. I would play with this, but I do not have for the moment a functional Apache Solr with a D6 site connected to it.

@gabidrg, I can get a machine setup if you want, with read-only access to a Solr index

Well i haven't had really time lately, but it should be fairly easy to create plugin which is make use out of hook_search and $op==search, that should actually work with google native search and apache solr.

@mac_perlinski, whoa! non-coder here, I can provide the necessary system and a clean drupal instance for a coder, but the skill stops right in there. So should somebody want to do this, I can put up a solr + drupal setup and help test the plugin.
