English Solr Search has made its debut and has won many hearts and sites, including Drupal.org. People click with glee upon seeing faceted search. Content recommendation drives your traffic through the roof. But there's much more power under the hood waiting to be harnessed, and this session will show you how.
You'll see how easy it is to customize your searches, leverage facets, and build your site's navigation right on top of the search engine.
You'll meet a bevy of beautiful modules that extend and build upon the Apache Solr API to do really cool things, like search emails, visualize your content, and offer search as a web service.
See Solr do geospatial search with LocalSolr - search that strikes close to home.
Find out what Solr can do with RDF and the Semantic Web. Can you infer the coolness?
The cherry on top will be a preview of Views 3 and it's ability to use the Solr index as the base upon which views are built.
The session will be co-presented by Robert Douglass and Peter Wolanin of the Three Muskateers of Acquia Search.
