A quick report. I haven't dived deeper into this one, but it looks like Uberselection Widget triggers an exception in Solr.

My guess is that collective.solr might expect a string as parameter in searchResults and maybe Uberselection Widget passes "SearchableText" as an unicode object.

If my guess is wrong, I'll dig into this.

From the bottom of the traceback:

    * Module zope.tales.expressions, line 217, in __call__
    * Module Products.PageTemplates.Expressions, line 161, in _eval
    * Module Products.PageTemplates.Expressions, line 123, in render
    * Module plone.app.form.widgets.uberselectionwidget, line 73, in __call__
    * Module plone.app.vocabularies.catalog, line 356, in results
    * Module plone.app.vocabularies.catalog, line 165, in search
    * Module collective.indexing.monkey, line 81, in searchResults
    * Module collective.solr.monkey, line 28, in searchResults

    * Module collective.solr.dispatcher, line 39, in __call__
    * Module collective.solr.dispatcher, line 72, in solrSearchResults
    * Module collective.solr.utils, line 46, in prepareData

TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode

Steps to reproduce:: * Add a collection portlet
* Search for anything with the uberselection widget

Cool.

I had a fresh look and can reproduce on a vanilla install. Can confirm this is an unicode issue. Adding to following to utils.py:46 fixed it on my box:

if isinstance(searchable, unicode):
searchable = searchable.encode('utf-8')
