The Islandora Solr search module allows you to search the Solr index. The Islandora Solr Sample Configuration module provides default display profiles to the module. The module makes four new blocks available; two for search and two for display. The other block is called the Advanced Search Block and does fielded searches against the Solr index. Both blocks would use whatever request handler is configured in the module settings. For information on how to configure the Solr module, see Islandora Solr Search.
Installation Steps:
- Verify that fedoraGSearch and Solr are both installed and running.
Go to http://localhost:8080/solr
