Apache Solr Search Integration

20081122-px2ttqu6s32ki9dffjmik2bgx1.preview.jpg

Revolutionize your Drupal search experience

This module integrates Drupal with the Apache Solr search platform. Solr search can be used as a replacement for core content search and boasts both extra features and better performance. Among the extra features is the ability to have faceted search on facets ranging from content author to taxonomy to arbitrary CCK fields.

The module comes with schema.xml and solrconfig.xml files which must be used in your Solr installation in order to get the module to work correctly.

This module depends on the search framework in core. However, you may not want the core searches and only want Solr search. If that is the case, you want to use the Core Searches module in tandem with this module.

If you're looking for Solr PHP integration, this is possibly the best option available. This is also one of the best ways to achieve faceted search. In addition, since you can shift the load of searches from PHP+SQL to a totally separate server, using Solr can help to scale Drupal for large, high-traffic sites.

See the documentation in the handbook as well as the included README.txt for information on requirements and installation.
