Acqia Search of files (not attached files)

Is there a way to get Acquia Hosted Search to index files that I have in my /files directory on my server? This is not about attached files, which works fine, but indexing files that are not attached to a node.

How to mimic "related discussions" like on drupal.org?

I haven't seen any description of how the "related discussions" block works on d.o.... Does anyone know of a writeup or similar tutorial?

I'd like to offer my users a related discussion block but can't seem to limit the recommended content to only forum posts...

Thanks,
Chris

Exclusion of content as a setting in user profile?

My site is growing from a specific site to a broad site with content many of the users would want to exclude. An example might be a CMS site that feature drupal, wordpress and joomla - the drupal users most likely wouldn't want wp and joomla plugins coming up in their searches. So - I'd like to create a module that allows for the exclusion of content types in the user profile.

I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone think of something similar I could use as a reference? Maybe a book/video/tutorial that does something similar?

Thanks,
Chris

Use Apache Solr to search in files

Robert Douglass's picture

Drupal's file handling capabilities keep getting better. Beyond the core upload module, the filefield module for CCK has enabled us to build sites with all sorts of files; documents, images, music, videos, and so forth. Searching within these docuements, however, has never been a common feature on Drupal sites. Some solutions have existed, particularly for extracting texts from PDFs and common wordprocessing documents. With Apache Solr, the attachments module, and an extension library called Tika, things can be much better. With Tika you can extract texts not only from Microsoft Office, Open Office, and PDF documents, you can also get text and metadata from images, songs, Flash movies and zipped archives. Searching for these texts is done as part of the normal Apache Solr driven site search. Read full article »
