I think that the Apache Solr module is designed to search for entities. Once we make Statuses entities, it should be able to search them using Apache Solr views.

I could be wrong about this though -- I don't know much about Solr.

For what I've searched (Search API) there is also the possibility to consider statuses a non-entity and implement the class for a new non-entity datasource.

However, the documentation for implementing this use case, is not much.

After some research this can be done with Search API.

There are 2 important steps:

Implementing your own class of:
class StatusesDataSourceController extends SearchApiExternalDataSourceController {}

In hook_statuses_save() index the status:

  // Update search Index
  if (module_exists('search_api')){
    if ($edit){
      search_api_track_item_change('statuses', array($status->sid));
    }else{
      search_api_track_item_insert('statuses', array($status->sid));
    }
  }
