SOLR on CF8

Thanks for the post!
Can you provide a link or two that discus the native processes (SOLR & CF9) that you refer to so I can research.
Also something that points to your other 2 points so I can educate myself as well.
1. create cfc's/functions to manage search input and conversion to solr Lucene syntax
2. create cfc's/functions to manage the returns from solr
I am not familiar with the conversion that takes place.

Thanks

cf still uses the cfindex and cfsearch tags as normal when interacting with the cf version of solr, solr is installed with cf as of 9.01(?) to replace verity

if you use cf8 you would need to code the interactions between cf and solr, as of the solr inclusion in cf, the system takes care of about 90% of those interactions with the remaining parts being custom code/search changes.

you can use the cfsearch tag or do it like this

http://localhost:8985/solr/collectioncrawlpublic/select?q=#session.sSearchCriteria#&fl=*,score&wt=csv&rows=250

Select allOpen in new window

the cftags make it much easier, particularly when you move on to paging, search within and highlighting.

<cfsearch  
            collection = "collectioncrawlpublic" 
            name = "SEARCH_DOCS_MEMBERS" 
            contextHighlightBegin = '<span style="background-color:yellow">' 
            contextHighlightEnd = "</span>"
            contextPassages = "4" 
            criteria = "#session.sSearchCriteria#" 
            status = "structSearchPublic" 
            suggestions = "10" 
            >

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks - let me review those links ...

Thanks for the help!

are you going with an upgrade or integration of solr into cf8?

I'm actually just researching this.
The company has plans for CF 10 having nothing to do with this issue.
Thanks

Perfect!
