Apache Solr Popularity

Overview

Apache Solr Popularity extends Apache Solr Search Integration to include the popularity of a node into Solr’s search ranking. This can greatly improve the relevancy of the search results by pulling frequently visited pages towards the top and pushing infrequently visited pages towards the bottom, which allows users to find what they are likely looking for easier and quicker.
