Searches are an integral part of any web application that is built today. Whether it is a content site, a job site, an e-commerce site, or any other website, searches play a very important role in helping the user locate the information that he/she is looking for. As a developer, it is imperative to provide the user of the website with all the possible tools for searching and narrowing down to the required information. Apache Solr is a full text search engine, which provides a large list of features for searches. PHP is the preferred programming language for building websites. This book guides the reader on the integration between PHP and Solr.
When a user performs a search on the website, he wants the results to be relevant based on certain criteria. Let us take the example of an e-commerce website. A search can happen on product names, brand names, model numbers, and product types. Once the results are visible, it is important to provide a set of facets on price, size, and some other features of the products in the search result, which can be used to narrow down the results to exactly what is desired. Autocompleting the search query as the user types and providing spelling suggestions are some of the advanced search functionalities that are visible on some websites.
