Based project: -------------- [](#based-project) - [Ajax Solr](https://github.com/evolvingweb/ajax-solr) is the JavaScript library which provide web based user interface to Apache Solr. The module integrates the library into Drupal framework. Federated Search ---------------- [](#federated-search) At Digital Scholarship Unit - UTSC Library, we have developed this module to support search and retrieval using a core that is shared by multiple individual Drupal sites. This allows us to have a federated search across Drupal sites where an end user can conduct a search and see relevant results from multiple sites. [![Federated Search](https://github.com/digitalutsc/islandora_lite_docs/raw/main/Islandora%20Lite%20Solr%20Setup.svg "Federated Search")](https://github.com/digitalutsc/islandora_lite_docs/raw/main/Islandora%20Lite%20Solr%20Setup.svg) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - A Solr endpoint - A shared Solr core which multisite sites indexing their contents into. - [Ajax Solr library](https://github.com/digitalutsc/ajax-solr) as dependency library. - At `/admin/config/search/search-api/index/YOUR_SOLR_INDEX/fields` in each of exhibit sites, setup with Search API fields with the same `MACHINE NAME` and `TYPE`. For example: FieldMachine NameTypeIn SolrThumbnailthumbnailStringss\_thumbnailTitletitleFulltexttm\_titleDescriptiondescriptionFulltexttm\_descriptionURI (search\_api\_url)urlStringsm\_urlOther optional fields to add............Installation and configuration ------------------------------ [](#installation-and-configuration) - By Composer: `composer require digitalutsc/ajax_solr_search` - **OR** git clone this module to your *modules* directory (ie. *web/modules/contrib*) of your Drupal site: - `git clone https://github.com/digitalutsc/drupal_ajax_solr_search.git` - Clone the dependency [Ajax Solr library](https://github.com/digitalutsc/ajax-solr) to Libraries directory (ie. drupal/web/libraries): - `git clone https://github.com/digitalutsc/ajax-solr.git` - Enable the module. - Visit `/admin/config/search/ajax_solr`, setting up with: - The URL for Search Results Page, default is `/federated-search`. - Select Solr field(s) to search against. - Select Solr field(s) for Facets. - Select Solr field for Year Range filter. - Select Solr field(s) for Sort Criteria. - When sorting ascending on a field, results without the field are displayed first. This can be configured by adding `sortMissingLast=true` to the field in the Solr schema. This property is false by default. - Note that sorting on Solr `string` fields is **case-sensitive**. Case-insensitive sorting can be done by modifying the Solr schema. - Sorting on multivalued fields is not supported. - Select 4 mandatory Solr fields for Search Result rows: Thumbnail, title, description, and URL. Other options field can also be added. [![Config Screenshot!](docs/ajax_solr_config.png "Config Screenshot")](docs/ajax_solr_config.png) **Year Range and Sort Criteria Configuration** [![Additional Config Screenshot!](docs/ajax_solr_additional_config.png "Additional Config Screenshot")](docs/ajax_solr_additional_config.png) Usage ----- [](#usage) - Visit the search page at `/federated-search`. - Live demo: Please note: ------------ [](#please-note) This module won't work if its Drupal site and Solr Endpoint don't have the same Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It means that both of Drupal site and Solr endpoint must be either in `https://` or `http://`.
