Solr for WordPress

planetsearch — Sun, 10 May 2009 04:30:12 +0000

A WordPress plugin that interacts with an instance of the Solr search engine. This plugin allows you to index pages and posts, perform advanced queries and enable faceting on fields such as tags, categories, and author. Adds special template tags so you can create your own custom result pages to match your theme. Configuration options allow you to select pages to ignore, features to enable/disable, and what type of result information you want output.

DC/NOVA Lucene & Solr meetup

planetsearch — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:32:33 +0000

My company is co-sponsoring a Lucene/Solr meetup later this month in the Northern VA / DC area (Reston). Details will be coming out soon. We’ve got one night of talks planned and considering adding another consecutive night. If you’re in the area and have a Lucene (any of the Lucene family of projects, including Mahout, Solr, Tika, etc)
project you’re eager to discuss for 20-30 minutes, write me offline and tell me about it.
Thanks,
Erik
