Solr

Do you have the desire to join an exciting, fast paced startup that is rapidly growing into one of the most highly trafficked websites today? Ever scaled a website to the Alexa top 100? Ever worked with GWT, Ajax, Spring, Tomcat, Solr?

If you answered YES to these questions, we may have the perfect job for you....

Our organization is called MojoPages
Mojopages is a venture funded consumer facing internet company that competes in the $15 billion dollar local search market.

I have had a lot of research about optimizing Apachesolr for non-english languages, especially for German. It comes out, that there search results can be dramatically improved by adjusting Solr's stemming and by breaking up compound words. This can be easily achieved with slight changes to Apachesolr's schema.xml.

This post is about configuring stemming:

And this post is about compound word splitting, that is needed in languages like German that have long combined words like "Dampfschifffahrt":

Senior Drupal/PHP developer with a desire to move from Development into Architecture sought urgently. Great day rate. NEed to hear from you in the next couple of hours though!!!

This role is based in Reading although a significant number of the team commute daily from London, Paddington (journey time 30 minutes).

I'm looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking, reliable and knowledgeable assistant technical architect to join our agile team working on a cutting edge Website based on the Drupal Framework.

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.

Just want to share my experience with using the apachesolr module as an API. I use apachesolr module purely as interface between my own drupal modules and the Solr instance. Part of the reason to do so is that I use a different schema.xml, compared to the one provided with the apachesolr module.

For the single technical detail, read this issue.

Thanks a lot to the developers for creating the apachesolr module and making it nicely extensible!

I was looking for a way to run Solr as a service on Debian. Ez Publish CMS has some interesting scripts in their svn repository http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezfind/ezp4/trunk/extension/ezfind/bin/s...
http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezfind/ezp4/trunk/extension/ezfind/java/

I used the solr script from the first link together with the solr.sh in the second, followed the instructions in the solr script and it works well.

Somebody another or better solution?

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?

Check out this awesome jQuery/Solr library that David Peterson pointed me to: http://solrjs.solrstuff.org/test/reuters/

Last night we enabled Pivots recommendations on Drupal.org. We've been working on Pivots for almost 18 months and I think it represents an exciting new type of Drupal.org service. Today pivots uses a custom indexer written in Java. That indexer reads the content on Drupal.org and then indexes it to the masterdb-other.drupal.org a database server outside our main Drupal.org database servers.

Now that [edit Solr ] apachesolr has moved on considerably, I was wondering if anyone has used it's full text indexing of documents combined with the taxonomy, and access control of drupal as part of a DMS.

I tried this a year ago, couldnt get it working and ended up with a Knowledge Tree/Drupal integrated solution, which seems good at the time, but in use was too disparate. I want it in Drupal (!), not another system.
