Journey to the SOLR system
Bryan Miller
In the beginning, we searched our Drupal-based University websites using the Google Search Appliance. Until one day, the big yellow servers stopped arriving. We then embarked on a journey to replace the deprecated product with a new solution. Searching far and wide through the universe, we settled upon a solution that would integrate well with our existing multi-site Drupal installation. Join us on our tour where we will present our challenges and what made us gravitate towards a Drupal-Solr integration.
