The Islandora Solr module provides a way to configure the Islandora search functions, the search results display, and the display of metadata on object pages.
Islandora Solr and the Islandora search results search the metadata, full text, and OCR of objects in the Fedora Commons repository. In a default Islandora installation, the Islandora search does not search Drupal nodes or other Drupal-only content. |
In order to use the Islandora Solr module, Solr and GSearch must already be installed and working. See the tutorials below for instructions.

Q. Why are some dates not rendered correctly?
A. On 32 bit systems, the PHP function strtotime() has a limited range. Typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 UTC to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC. For more information see this.
Q. Why can't I connect to Solr via https?
A. The Apache Solr PHP Client that we use does not support https connection to Solr. ISLANDORA-646 seeks to remedy this.
Q. Advanced search on PID worked in 6.x. Why do I get no results for the same search in 7.x?
A. In 7.x the colon in a PID must be escaped (i.e., islandora:34 becomes islandora:34) or the entire query must be wrapped in quotation marks (i,e., "islandora:34").
