If you are a developer building an app today then you know how
important a good search experience is. Apache Solr, built on Apache
Lucene, is a wildly popular open source enterprise search server that
easily delivers powerful search and faceted navigation features that are
elusive with databases. Solr supports complex search criteria,
faceting, result highlighting, query-completion, query spell-check,
relevancy tuning, and more.
Apache Solr 3 Enterprise Search
Server is a comprehensive reference guide for every feature Solr has to
offer. It serves the reader right from initiation to development to
deployment. It also comes with complete running examples to demonstrate
its use and show how to integrate Solr with other languages and
frameworks.Through using a large set of metadata about artists,
releases, and tracks courtesy of the MusicBrainz.org project, you will
have a testing ground for Solr, and will learn how to import this data
in various ways. You will then learn how to search this data in
different ways, including Solr’s rich query syntax and “boosting” match
scores based on record data.
Finally, we’ll cover various
deployment considerations to include indexing strategies and
performance-oriented configuration that will enable you to scale Solr to
meet the needs of a high-volume site.
