def simple_search(query, params={})
  query = {:q => query}
  response = get(SimpleSolr.configuration.uri + "/select", :query => query.merge(params))
  Nokogiri::XML(response.body)
end

#simple_search_docs(query, params = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns all doc elements, aka matching documents, from the search results in an array. To dig deeper, use css selectors to find the elements you need.

<doc><str name="title">Woezel en Pip</str></doc>

the contents of the title tag can be fetched like this:

results = Document.simple_search_docs('apple')
results.first.at_css('str[name=title]').contents   # => Woezel en Pip

I told you it was close to the metal! Refer to the Nokogiro docs for more information.
