ABOUT THE PROJECT

For this project we needed to create an enterprise search solution that would integrate directly into Drupal and consume all our different types of content. In order to accomplish this we utilized Solr Search 7 and created a separate search core for each environment. We then created a search server and index for each environment and used configuration split to keep unique settings.

The next step was setting up our index to display our nodes as Rendered HTML output, configuring our view search page, and any necessary processors to tweak and control the search. We also created a secondary view as a page display type to allow the exposed filter to be detached as a separate block. This allowed us to embed a global search input with autocomplete functionality throughout the site.
