What is solr search?


Asked by Jayda Keller on Dec 12, 2021 FAQ



Solr is a popular search platform for Web sites because it can index and search multiple sites and return recommendations for related content based on the search query ’s taxonomy. Solr is also a popular search platform for enterprise search because it can be used to index and search documents and email attachments. Solr works...
Subsequently,
Solr works by gathering, storing and indexing documents from different sources and making them searchable in near real-time. It follows a 3-step process that involves indexing, querying, and finally, ranking the results - all in near real-time, even though it can work with huge volumes of data.
One may also ask, Solr probably is not meant to be a DB but as a full text search solution. It is possible to store data in Solr. You can mark your fields as stored=true and the information would be maintained in Solr. Solr would store the data on the file system and any issues with the file system or Solr index can lead to loss of data.
Thereof,
Local parameters are arguments in a Solr request that are specific to a query parameter. Local parameters provide a way to add meta-data to certain argument types such as query strings. (In Solr documentation, local parameters are sometimes referred to as LocalParams.)
Just so,
Not only search, Solr can also be used for storage purpose. Like other NoSQL databases, it is a non-relational data storage and processing technology. In short, Solr is a scalable, ready to deploy, search/storage engine optimized to search large volumes of text-centric data.
