Apache Solr Views

Scott Reynolds - April 2, 2009 - 00:52

This module provides Views implementation for the Apache Solr Search Integration Project. Currently it requires a patch to Views to work or you can use the new Views3
#293841: Allow different back-ends for Views

This module will provide facet navigation combined with searching to make a powerful user experience.
Also please note the following issue: #443410: Apachesolr Sort block doesn't integrate with this module

Currently, you will only find code in the CVS HEAD

Interesting patch: #455742: Patch to have node loads for your view

In order to get the facet blocks provided by the Apachesolr Search Integration Project you need to set up either arguments or exposed filters for the blocks. For instance, you could set up an argument for node type and the Apache Solr Search: Filter by content type block will work.

Features:
1.) facet navigation via Solr. Provide standard landing pages that are generated just from Solr, no need to touch your database
2.) Query caching plugin. Cache the results of the query so that Solr isn't queried against (see:
#490994: Apache Solr Views Caching plugin
