WHAT/WHERE search + Solr 3.6 + location(lat/lng) + radius based search
This doc will help you to
- Modify schema.xml so that it supports geo location values
- WHAT/WHERE search (radius based) - instead of a single keyword based search
- Content-type based filtration
- Implementation of hook_apachesolr_index_document_build, hook_apachesolr_query_alter
I am not going through the steps for installing / connecting solr with drupal. A lot of articles are already available online.
Case
Typically for job/property search sites, where you have two text fields: WHAT and WHERE. I am using the apachesolr search pages for this implementation.
Example search:
WHAT: drupal architect
WHERE: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
(basically, the 'where' is an autofill textbox - which gets data from YQL - and its cached when search is being repeated)
Schema.xml

Randomly Sorting Listings with Solr and Views

Installing Solr on Ubuntu
Installing Apache Solr on ubuntu requires several dependancies. The easiest and quickest way to install Solr on ubuntu currently is done with the package manager: apt
Invoke the following command and you should be able to get apache solr installed on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install solr-tomcat
Make sure the java 6 is installed on your machine:sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
Optional Setup: Drupal Search api integration
Optionally you can get drupal setup with drupal search api integration.
Use the Solr apache integration schema.xml and solrconfig.xml files to get up and running quickly.
Using the search api solr module copy those files and place them in your solr conf folder:
mkdir ~/solrconfig;
cd ~/solrconfig
wget drupalcode.org/project/search_api_solr.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/solr-conf/1.4/solrconfig.xml
wget drupalcode.org/project/search_api_solr.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/solr-conf/1.4/schema.xml
sudo cp -v *.xml /etc/solr/confRestart the tomcat service
service tomcat restart
