-`acts_as_solr` Rails plugin
-======
-This plugin adds full text search capabilities and many other nifty features from Apache's [Solr](http://lucene.apache.org/solr/) to any Rails model.

+# The `acts_as_solr` Rails plugin is no longer being maintained.
 
-Current Release
-======
-The current stable release is v0.9 and was released on 06-18-2007.
+We recommend you switch to using [Sunspot](http://outoftime.github.com/sunspot/).
 
-Changes
-======
-Please refer to the CHANGE_LOG
-
-Installation
-======
-
-For Rails >= 2.1:
-
-    script/plugin install git://github.com/mattmatt/acts_as_solr.git
-
-For Rails < 2.1:
-
-    cd vendor/plugins
-    git clone git://github.com/mattmatt/acts_as_solr.git
-    rm -rf acts_as_solr/.git
-
-Make sure you copy `vendor/plugins/acts_as_solr/config/solr.yml` to your Rails
-application's config directory, when you install via `git clone`.
-
-Requirements
-------
-* Java Runtime Environment(JRE) 1.5 aka 5.0 [http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp](http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
-* If you have libxml-ruby installed, make sure it's at least version 0.7
-
-Configuration
-======
-Basically everything is configured to work out of the box. You can use `rake solr:start` and `rake solr:stop`
-to start and stop the Solr web server (an embedded Jetty). If the default JVM options aren't suitable for
-your environment, you can configure them in solr.yml with the option `jvm_options`. There is a default
-set for the production environment to have some more memory available for the JVM than the defaults, but
-feel free to change them to your liking.
-
-Basic Usage
-======
-<pre><code>
-# Just include the line below to any of your ActiveRecord models:
-  acts_as_solr
-
-# Or if you want, you can specify only the fields that should be indexed:
-  acts_as_solr :fields => [:name, :author]
-
-# Then to find instances of your model, just do:
-  Model.find_by_solr(query) #query is a string representing your query
-
-# Please see ActsAsSolr::ActsMethods for a complete info
-
-</code></pre>
-
-
-`acts_as_solr` in your tests
-======
-To test code that uses `acts_as_solr` you must start a Solr server for the test environment. You can do that with `rake solr:start RAILS_ENV=test`
-
-However, if you would like to mock out Solr calls so that a Solr server is not needed (and your tests will run much faster), just add this to your `test_helper.rb` or similar:
-
-<pre><code>
-class ActsAsSolr::Post
-  def self.execute(request)
-    true
-  end
-end
-</pre></code>
