People using Search by Page who don't want to use the core Content/node search in Drupal 6 might want to effectively disable search indexing for the core content search. One way to do that has been suggested here:
http://www.drupalcoder.com/story/742-performance-tip-disable-drupals-cor...

Basically the idea is to set the number-indexed-per-cron setting for core Search to 0, and let Apache Solr index during cron while turning off core Search indexing.

This would not work for Search by Page right now, because it uses the same setting as core search. The feature request is to decouple the settings so that you could do this.

This is not really needed in Drupal 7, because you can disable the core content and user searches while having the core search module turned on, but for consistency, it should probably be changed in Drupal 7 too.

Just as a note, the core Search settings form does not (by default) allow you to set the indexing to 0. So we'd also have to alter the form.
