Content Management and SOLR


SOLR; It is a popular, fast and open source enterprise search platform built on Apache Lucene. By using Workcube SOLR, it provides indexing of content and faster access to indexed content. 


What is SOLR?
SOLR is an open source search engine developed with java, affiliated with the Apache Lucene project. It is the most popular search engine software with full text search database, features to index all documents like Word or PDF. Although it is a search engine, it allows data replication and multiple cores. With Solr, queries can be made with HTTP requests. It is compatible with XML, JSON and HTTP. Solr offers powerful matching features across all data types, including expressions, wildcards, joins, grouping, and much more.

Why Should We Use SOLR?
We mostly do the search with SQL. This does not give us an effective result because we search by looking at a certain field. Although Solr has an indexing feature, it looks at all the content and provides a search by category if we wish. Optimized for high volume traffic. For this reason, if we have large data, we should prefer Solr.

How Do You Use SOLR Services?
On your CF server, Administrator also provides Solr server details. From CF Admin you can create, reload and clean collections in solr.


How does SOLR work on Content and Internal Wiki?

First of all, a cfcollection is created.

This collection is then populated with data with the cfindex tag.

SOLR search is performed with the cfsearch tag.

The following example is used in Workcube Content Management and In-house Wiki search application. The in-house Wiki application works with SOLR on CF 16 and higher.

To use SOLR services, you can get help from certified Workcube partners.
