The book Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server by David Smiley and OSCs own Eric Pugh will be published next month from Packt Publishing. You can find out more about the book at the Packt Publishing website. Some of the topics that the book covers include:
- Blend structured data with real search features
- Import CSV formatted data, XML, common document formats, and from databases
- Deploy Solr and provide reference to Solrs query syntax from the basics to range queries
- Enhance search results with spell-checking, auto-completing queries, highlighting search results, and more.
- Secure Solr
- Integrate a host of technologies with Solr from the server side to client-side JavaScript, to frameworks like Drupal
- Scale Solr using replication, distributed searches, and tuning Working with Packt has been a real pleasure, as they have been understanding about slipping deadlines and Erics propensity to abuse his apostrophe key. Were looking forward to the feedback from the book and seeing growth of the adoption of Solr. Also, thanks to Dave Smiley for allowing Eric to work with him on the book!
