Search API Federated Solr

Search API Federated Solr is an open source alternative to the Google Search Appliance and other technologies that index and search across multiple web sites.

Primary features of the module include:

  • Indexing of multiple, independent Drupal sites into a single index
  • Optional filtering of search results by site
  • Standard presentation of search results on all sites
  • A standard search block for use on all sites
  • Customizable presentation using a single CSS file

This is accomplished by three pieces:

Federated Search Schema

Because our data is served by an external application, all sites will need to conform to a set field schema when sending data to the index.

Federated Search Demo

Search API Federated Solr is a complex application, and the best way to understand what's going on is to see it in action!

Federated Search React

This app renders search results from a Solr search index. It was developed as the front end to the search_api_federated_solr module.

Search API Federated Solr (module)

This module facilitates indexing data from multiple sites into Solr & provides a ReactJS front end to show results uniformly across sites.

Search API Field Map (module)

This module provides new field options on Search API indexes to aggregate fields and terms across entity types.
