Using Glass Mapper with Solr Sitecore 8

When using Solr search provider in Sitecore 8 and also using the excellent Glass mapper for Sitecore the documentation on the Glass site walks you through creating a custom search result class with property attributes for search and glass here

The ID property has the attribute [IndexField("_id")], this attribute does not work with Solr and should be replaced with [IndexField("_group")]

	using Sitecore.Data;
	using Sitecore.Data.Items;

	namespace WesleyLomax.Common.Model.Base
	{
	[Serializable]
	public abstract class BaseSearchResultItem
	{
	[SitecoreId]
	[IndexField("_group")]
	public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }

	[SitecoreInfo(SitecoreInfoType.Language)]
	[IndexField("_language")]
	public virtual string Language { get; set; }

	[TypeConverter(typeof(IndexFieldItemUriValueConverter))]
	[XmlIgnore]
	[IndexField("_uniqueid")]
	public virtual ItemUri Uri { get; set; }

	[SitecoreInfo(SitecoreInfoType.Version)]
	public virtual int Version
	{
	get
	{
	return Uri == null ? 0 : Uri.Version.Number;
	}
	}

	[IndexField("_name")]
	public virtual string Name { get; set; }

	[IndexField("_template")]
	[TypeConverter(typeof(IndexFieldIDValueConverter))]
	public virtual ID TemplateId { get; set; }

	[IndexField("_uniqueid")]
	public virtual string UniqueId { get; set; }
	}
	}

A quick look at the SearchResultItem class in the Sitecore.ContentSearch dll shows why.
