After you have successfully set up the Solr URL on the Solr Index tab, you can configure search results and metadata display on these tabs:

  1. Facet pages - Configure alphabetical browsing pages based on indexed fields in Solr (for example, an alphabetical browse names name or topics). Requires the Islandora Solr Facet Pages module. 
    For more on this see Islandora Solr Facet Pages.

  2. RSS settings - Configure the fields to be displayed in the RSS feed of search results. 
    For more on this see Islandora Solr RSS Settings

  3. Solr Breadcrumbs - Configure how breadcrumbs are generated.
    For more on breadcrumbs see figure the section below.

  4. Solr settings - Configure the Islandora search results display profile(s), including which fields to be displayed in the search results, which fields to sort on and serve as facets, query settings, required fields, and the Advanced Search block.
    For more on this see Islandora Solr Settings.

  5. Table profile settings - Configure the "Table Display Profile" (if selected in "Solr settings").

  6. Metadata display - Configure which metadata fields should be displayed on Islandora object pages for each solution pack when the "Details" option is expanded. Requires the Islandora Solr Metadata module.
    For more on this see Islandora Solr Metadata.

  • "Render Drupal breadcrumbs"
  • "Islandora Solr" under "Breadcrumb generation," and
  • "Use iTQL for particular queries."

The last option only works when Islandora is installed with Mulgara as triple store.

FAQ

Q. Why are some dates not rendered correctly?

...

A. The Apache Solr PHP Client that we use does not support https connection connections to Solr. ISLANDORA-646 seeks to remedy this but it is still an unresolved issue. 

...

A. With earlier versions of Solr you had to escape the colon in searches for PIDs, but Islandora now supports Solr 4.10 and recommends config files that enable searching full PIDs.
