README

This Silverstripe CMS Recipe is designed to enable Solr-based fulltext search. It's specifically designed to work with Silverstripe Cloud Platforms, but may be functional in other environments as well. It's the successor of cwp/cwp-recipe-search.

This includes the following core Silverstripe modules:

• cwp/cwp-search: CWP fulltextsearch integration module
• silverstripe/fulltextsearch: Adds external full text search engine support to SilverStripe, specically with Solr in a CWP context
• symbiote/silverstripe-queuedjobs: A module that provides interfaces for scheduling jobs for certain times

You can also opt in to install the following suggested (not required) modules:

• silverstripe/textextraction: Text Extraction API for Silverstripe CMS (mostly used with 'fulltextsearch' module)

This can be either added to an existing project or used as a project base for creating a Silverstripe CMS install.

Unlike other Silverstripe recipes, this recipe does not constrain Silverstripe core dependencies to a particular minor version line.

Installation

composer create-project silverstripe/recipe-solr-search ./myproject

Alternative

This recipe is still supported. However, you may wish to explore the silverstripe/silverstripe-search-service module which uses a search-as-a-service approach compatible with providers such as Elastic or Algolia.
