Solr URLs with # in them are ONLY for use in a browser.  You cannot use 
them for API calls.  Specifically, they are used by the complex 
javascript application that is the Solr admin UI.

The reason is that all characters in a URL starting with # are NOT sent 
to the server, they are ONLY handled by the client.  Typically only a 
browser is capable of using those characters.

If the Solr core/collection is named "dovecot" then the example URL in 
the wiki is completely correct.  If the index has a different name, then 
you can replace the string "dovecot" with the correct name.

Trying the exact URL that you give to dovecot *will* give you a 404 
error.  When a Solr client (like fts_solr) uses that URL, it will add 
the necessary information for it to work correctly.
