solr

Future request: make the path configurable

It would be great if the Acquia SOLR module adds a setting to the admin interface to change the default URL. Currently, the URL is 'search/apachesolr_search/test' when searching on test. I'd like this to be 'search/test' or even better 'zoeken/test' (as it's a Dutch site).

This will improve SEO rankings a well, because of the shorter URL's.

Tom Erickson's picture

I was so proud of what our team accomplished in 2009 that I wrote a couple of different versions of our accomplishments. I posted one last week. However, after thinking about it some more, I was so excited by specific achievements, that I decided to post this version as well, which lists many of them. Read full article »

Multiple (custom) search forms across a site

On our site we have different sections that should have their own search forms. Each search form should search only within a section (node type(s)). Each section also has a "advanced search" fieldsets with different filters.

Can I create customized search forms that send their query to Acquia Search? Or is this a feature where a distributed index comes into play?

Thank you for any information.

Group results by type

In a current client project we are using Acquia Search as a full text search across different sections of our site. What we want to do is to group the search results be type (node type), showing the 5 top results + a link at the bottom pointing to all other results for that type.

Is this possbible with Acquia Search? I think it is and we only have to change the search results? What's a bit unclear to me is how to construct the link? The link can spawn another search - no problem here - but how can I offset the results, hiding the first 5 results from the "search result overview"? Read full article »

Views 3 + Apache Solr + Acquia Drupal = The Future of Search

Robert Douglass's picture

For the last six months, Scott Reynolds has been keeping a big juicy secret. As the maintainer of the Apache Solr Views module, he knows just how cool the future of Drupal Search is going to be. His module, based on an idea and code from Thomas Seidl, lets you make custom searches against the Solr index the same way you currently make views against the MySQL database. Read full article »

Any need to alter schema.xml while on Acquia Search subscription?

When utilizing the Acquia Search service, do we in any way need to alter the apachesolr/schema.xml file?

I've read posts where this file is altered for custom Solr setups and I'd like to know how Acquia subscribers should treat this file within their Drupal installations.

Solr API?

I would love to use Solr but I need a way to get a list of Node IDs back and then join to a Proximity search result.

The form I have takes 2 fields and modifies a drupal view to get the result (it basically it works like do_search() with a where clause to do the proximity). I have it working on standard Drupal search. Here are the form inputs:

1. search box
2. city,state,or zip (< # of miles) Read full article »

Robert Douglass's picture

Last week Acquia sent me to New Orleans to be a speaker at Lullabot's Do it With Drupal conference. The conference went very well and I gave a presentation about ApacheSolr, and how faceted search will change the way you think about finding things on your site. Since Acquia recently announced that we will be launching a hosted Solr search service even more people have shown interest in ApacheSolr. Read full article »
