We are working on site like shaadi.com and we want to implement search hook for profile. We used custom multi step form( Not CCK) and we have around 130 fields in profile section. Search form should have 2 to 15 fields. e.g.
1) search for "Country"
2) Age between 20 to 25
3)Mother Tongue etc
.....
.....

If I understand correctly drupal search uses two tables a)search_dataset and b)search_index
So we can't use date between or other conditions like we do in non drupal search.

I have not implemented views hook for our custom multistep form yet.

Please guide me what's best ways to achieve the extensive search

If you are trying to create a replica of shaadi.com and expect a big database, trust me drupal core search is going to disappoint you and your users big time. I sincerely suggest you to go for this.

For your original ques, as you are using custom fields and not CCK, you can use custom queries to create those filters. IMO that would be fast and a better solution than views.

Solr not worked for me in D7

I am getting below error on url http://localhost/drupal7/search/site?f[0]=language%3Aund with solrapache

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$entity_type in apachesolr_search_process_response() (line 556 of E:\xampp\htdocs\drupal7\sites\all\modules\apachesolr\apachesolr_search.module).

Any other idea ? I am not using CCK so views will also take lot of effort for search.

Yes arijit is right solr is the best option if you have heavy DB drupal search engine cant handle it and it will not provide you the option which solr can so please use solr if you have heavy DB ... even you can use solr indexing for you output of each and every result ...
