Solr

I can tell by the usage statistics that you haven't tried the Search API module yet! Run, don't walk, to the download page and give it a go. You'll have to pick yourself up a copy of the Entity module as well, but then you're all set.

Hi there,

we are running a locale website that provides basically informations about events, businesses, classfieds, news etc. in one city.
To make it even more locale, we need to categorize everything by the districts / areas within this city.
I want the users to be able to click on:
old town
And see the three last shops, ads, events, classfieds etc. from the old town.
Clicking on 'all shops in the old town' (shops and old town should be arguments somehow) should show the shops in the old town (surprise ;) ).

At the moment I'm trying it with taxonomies, view, panels.

Hey all,
A wildcard question... I am trying to do an autocomplete text field implementation of SOLR. So, when the user starts typing in a term or a phrase, it will request SOLR results. For example, if a person types in 'car' it should return 'car', 'cars', 'cardigan'.

Now I try doing this:

Currently admins wanting to add Solr to their Drupal site have two options: Apache Solr Views and Searchlight.

Both can be used to construct views that filter content (including faceted search) on the basis of Solr indexes. Both projects - particularly Searchlight - are in active development.

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding Solr, I appreciate some of these have been covered in http://groups.drupal.org/node/73583

I've attached a diagram of my Solr concept.

Basically we have a number of existing websites, all running on Drupal 6 and we will continue to add to this collection using versions 6 & 7.
I would like to provide Solr search functionality that allows searching within the current site but also provide a global search across all sites from one central portal.

Can someone point me to the mechanism in Sol that might allow me to roll-up or aggregate records for display. We have many items that are similar and only want to show a representative record to the user until they select that record.

As an example – We carry a polo shirt and have 15 records that represent the individual colors for that shirt. Does the query API provide anyway to rollup the records passed on a property or do we need to just flatten the representation of the shirt in the data model.
