search

I've created a custom content type called "jobpost" and customized the template so that it shows the way I like. I'm now down to the problem of searching. I'd like to make it searchable so that people can type a keyword and find jobs that match it.

This article helped me do that: http://drupal.org/node/141788 So now I've got a "jobs" page that has a nice looking search box and some helpful tips.

Hi,
I am looking for someone to develop a search page that combines an exposed taxonomy filter approach (checkboxes and radios rather than dropdowns) with the Apache-Solr Keyword (and resultant faceted search setup) together with Saved Searches.
Please contact me for more information.
Many thanks

Hi there,

Anyone working on getting the nutch module working for Drupal 6? Any folks know of other avenues to get full-text document search (.pdf, .doc, etc.) in Drupal 6?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can anyone let me know if it is possible to index and search multiple Drupal and non-drupal websites using the ApacheSolr module?

If not please let me know of any other way that this could be achieved.

Thanks

Overview: This project aims to provide an easy mean for site developers to create custom parametric search forms and result pages for different content types, much like those of e-commerce sites. The current idea is to create a module for creating search UI depending on CKK and Views. This module will provide flexibility for combining search parameters (operations, priorities, dependences, etc.) and customizability in the look of both search forms and result pages.

Hello,

I want to create a searchable Business Directory. I know how to do this using simple criteria like State and City. My current hurdle is figuring out how to do this by zipcode regions. I did some searching and found that there is a module called "Location" that touches on the concept but Im not sure if that is the way to go. DOes anyone here have any suggestions or has anyone else already done this? Thank you in advance.

When wanting an anonymous user to define search paramaters, is views exposed filters the answer? Is there a module that works with views to handle this task?

Hi Everyone,

Today I took a couple hours and attempted a backport of ApacheSolr D6 to D5. This will bring all of the cool features that D6 has to D5. The patch needs work. It doesn't yet work. If anyone has time to chip in and work on the indexing of nodes (currently not working) that'd be great. With a little momentum I think we can do the backport relatively quickly, after which keeping the two in sync will be much easier.

I made two small patches to D7 to improve the accessibility of the search form:

http://drupal.org/node/368759

It's another small change for accessibility. I think this will help, but would appreciate feedback on these changes. Certainly it improves things with my tests using:

Query 1:

field1:value1 field2:value2

Query 1 reversed:

field2:value2 field1:value1

.

Does it make a difference? Would it be better for performance to use the field first which yields the smallest sub result set? Or does Solr/Lucene handle this all by itself?
