Releases for Search API

Release notes

This is the first release candidate version of the Search API project. It contains many bug fixes and a few new features (especially for developers) compared to the Beta 10 version.

These are the most important changes:

• The Search API now integrates with the Facet API to provide facets (#1182614: Integrate with Facet API), which is much more flexible and feature-rich. The old module has been renamed to „Old search facets (deprecated)“ and will be removed in the 1.1 release. Until then, by enabling both facets modules you will receive the option to migrate your facet settings on the respective index's „Old facets“ tab.
• Both the Search pages and the Database search modules have been moved to their own projects. To keep on using them, click on the links above and install them like you would any other module. Take care that the respective folders in modules/search_api/contrib are really removed when you update or you are likely to run into problems.
• #955088: Provide (additional) access functionality adds node access functionality. To enable it, you just have to activate the „Node access“ data alteration (on the „Workflow“ tab) for an index on nodes. See the documentation for details.
• With #1064884: Add support for indexing non-entities and #1260834: Add a way to define custom data types both non-entity item types and new data types for fields can be defined by other modules.
• #1308638: Reduce size of stored index settings changed the way the index's field settings are stored. All modules accessing the fields settings must be updated accordingly, as soon as possible.

Release notes

The Beta 9 release contains several bug fixes as well as new features. Among the new features are read-only indexes, a "More like this" feature, support for spellchecking, a stopwords processor and better integration of excerpts.

(Note: The Search API currently has only little access control functionality built in. Users should take care that only appropriate items and fields are indexed, and displayed to the user. See #955088: Provide (additional) access functionality.)

The complete list of changes since Beta 8:

API changes:

• #1089758 by becw, drunken monkey: Updated Views field handlers to utilize new features.
• #1150260 by drunken monkey: Added a way to let processors and data alterations decide on which indexes they can run.
• #1138992 by becw, drunken monkey: Added read-only indexes.

Release notes

This is a quick addition to the Beta 6 release, which sadly contained a critical bug I forgot to fix before creating the release (#1081244: Debug line still contained in database backend). Therefore, there are only two changes compared to the Beta 6 release:

• #1083828 by drunken monkey: Add documentation on indexing custom data.
• #1081244 by drunken monkey: Debug line still contained in database backend.

For a list of changes since Beta 5, please see the Beta 6 release notes.

Release notes

This new beta release contains a few new features, but mostly just is for keeping track with Drupal core and the Entity API. This release is (or should be) compatible with the Drupal 7.0 release and Entity API Beta 6.

Release notes

The first official release of the project, kind of forgot that.

- The API and its framework are done, there only might be small additions from now on.
- There is quite a bit of documentations in READMEs and the search_api.api.php.
- There are several tests, of which at the moment four still fail – two of them possibly through an external bug.
- There is a simple database service class for use with smaller sites.
