@ -52,38 +52,30 @@ Basic usage is a four step process:
1). Define an index in SilverStripe (Note: The specific connector index instance - that's what defines which engine gets used)
```php
mysite/code/MyIndex.php:
<?php
class MyIndex extends SolrIndex {
function init() {
$this->addClass('Page');
$this->addFulltextField('DocumentContents');
// File: mysite/code/MyIndex.php:
<?php
class MyIndex extends SolrIndex {
function init() {
$this->addClass('Page');
$this->addFulltextField('DocumentContents');
}
}
}
```
2). Add something to the index (Note: You can also just update an existing document in the CMS. but adding _existing_ objects to the index is connector specific)
```php
$page = new Page(array('Contents' => 'Help me. My house is on fire. This is less than optimal.'));
$page->write();
```
$page = new Page(array('Contents' => 'Help me. My house is on fire. This is less than optimal.'));
$page->write();
Note: There's usually a connector-specific "reindex" task for this.
3). Build a query
```php
$query = new SearchQuery();
$query->search('My house is on fire');
```
$query = new SearchQuery();
$query->search('My house is on fire');
4). Apply that query to an index
```php
$results = singleton($index)->search($query);
```
$results = singleton('MyIndex')->search($query);
Note that for most connectors, changes won't be searchable until _after_ the request that triggered the change.

# Solr connector for SilverStripe fulltextsearch module
This module provides a fulltextsearch module connector to Solr.
## Introduction
This module provides a fulltextsearch module connector to Solr.
It works with Solr in multi-core mode. It needs to be able to update Solr configuration files, and has modes for
doing this by direct file access (when Solr shares a server with SilverStripe) and by WebDAV (when it's on a different server).
Since Solr is Java based, this module requires a Java runtime to be present on the server Solr is running on (not necessarily
the same physical machine the SilverStripe server is on).
See the helpful [Solr Tutorial](http://lucene.apache.org/fulltextsearch/api/doc-files/tutorial.html), for more on cores and querying.
* See the helpful [Solr Tutorial](http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/doc-files/tutorial.html), for more on cores and querying.
## Requirements
## Getting started quickly (dev mode)
Since Solr is Java based, it requires Java 1.5 or greater installed.
It also requires a servlet container such as Tomcat, Jetty, or Resin.
Jetty is already packaged with the module.
Configure Solr in file mode
See the official [Solr installation docs](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrInstall)
for more information.
```php
mysite/_config.php:
Note that these requirements are for the Solr server environment,
which doesn't have to be the same physical machine as the SilverStripe webhost.
<?php
## Installation
Solr::configure_server(isset($solr_config) ? $solr_config : array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'indexstore' => array(
'mode' => 'file',
'path' => BASE_PATH . '/fulltextsearch/thirdparty/solr/server/solr'
)
));
```
Configure Solr in file mode. The 'path' directory has to be writeable
by the user the Solr search server is started with (see below).
// File: mysite/_config.php:
<?php
SearchUpdater::bind_manipulation_capture();
Solr::configure_server(isset($solr_config) ? $solr_config : array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'indexstore' => array(
'mode' => 'file',
'path' => BASE_PATH . '/fulltextsearch/thirdparty/fulltextsearch/server/solr'
)
));
Create an index
```php
mysite/code/MyIndex.php:
<?php
class MyIndex extends SolrIndex {
function init() {
$this->addClass('Page');
$this->addAllFulltextFields();
// File: mysite/code/MyIndex.php:
<?php
class MyIndex extends SolrIndex {
function init() {
$this->addClass('Page');
$this->addAllFulltextFields();
}
}
}
```
* Open a terminal, change to thirdparty/solr/server and start Solr by running `java -jar start.jar`
* In another terminal run the configure task `sake dev/tasks/Solr_configure`
* Then run the configure task `sake dev/tasks/Solr_reindex`
Start the search server (via CLI, in a separate terminal window or background process)
You can now visit http://localhost:8983/solr/MyIndex/admin/ to search the contents of the now created Solr index via the native SOLR UI
cd fulltextsearc/thirdparty/fulltextsearch/server/
java -jar start.jar
Initialize the configuration (via CLI)
sake dev/tasks/Solr_configure
Reindex
sake dev/tasks/Solr_reindex
## Usage
TODO
## Debugging
It is possible to manually replicate the data automatically sent to Solr when saving/publishing in SilverStripe,
which is useful when debugging front-end queries, see: thirdparty/solr/server/silverstripe-solr-test.xml but roughly:
You can visit `http://localhost:8983/solr/MyIndex/admin/`
to search the contents of the now created Solr index via the native SOLR web interface.
Replace "MyIndex" with your own index definition as required.
```
#> java -Durl=http://localhost:8983/solr/MyIndex/update/ -Dtype=text/xml -jar post.jar silverstripe-solr-test.xml
```

These instructions will get you running quickly, but the Solr indexes will be stored as binary files inside your SilverStripe project. You can also
copy the thirdparty/solr directory somewhere else. The instructions above will still apply - just set the path value
in mysite/_config.php to point to this other location, and of course run `java -jar start.jar` from the new directory,
not the thirdparty one.
