[nodebb-plugin-solr] Solr search plugin

[scottalanmiller]

Updated to the latest Solr this morning and it returned zero results. We moved back to DBSearch and it worked fine, although the Regex in DBSearch is not nearly as nice as Solr. At least we have search again. Can't do any more testing with Solr until next week, so at the moment we are at a standstill there. But as DBSearch is working, it is not critical.

Have you tried flushing and re-indexing?

[scottalanmiller]

A little bit ago we uninstalled it and completely reinstalled and it started working. So Solr is working for us again (as are emoji.)

Hoorah! Glad to hear it

I tried it and it works fine with full words but its doesnt work with wilcards like *
Also if i have two topics one is "ball" and other is "balls", with bdsearch a query for "ball" will get the two topics as result but in solr only getting first one.
Do i meed to config something else?

I found a bug: add the topic -> it is added to the index -> edit the topic -> index added a new version of the message.

The result: in the index have two topic (old and new).

Temporary solution: manual rebuild search index

Thanks @aya, will try to take a look today.

@julian update to 1.0.1 (from 1.0.0) solved my problem.

@Bin this plugin is awesome ! It support Chinese, haha !

[julian]

@Samurais Yes, we recommend using Solr plugin if you are using non-latin languages like Chinese, Russian, etc

[Hao Lee]

@Samurais solr needs java environment, so the memory consumption is too large.

[julian]

Yes, unfortunately that is a side effect of running Solr

Hopefully we will find a node.js based search engine soon.
