When I am searching for a particular content, it is showing the file which has the content, how can I show the line in which the particular content is there?
I know alfresco uses lucene, can I use lucene highlighter. If yes how to use lucene highlighter in alfresco?
What about solr can I use that?
4.2.e without modifications means that you're using SOLR.
Afaik there is no addon that adds hit-highlighting to Alfresco's Solr search subsystem.
It's on the roadmap.
There are quite some posts regarding hit-lighting in Alfresco based on lucene.
Alfresco 5.2 seems to have this feature. Searched for string is highlighted with context in the search results.

Does anybody know how to have Lucene and Solr together in the same Sitecore Instalation?
Sitecore states that is possible here:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/search_and_indexing/indexing/using_solr_or_lucene
You can mix Lucene and Solr, and, for example, use Solr for xDB and
Lucene for content search at the same time. If an index is small, it
is much easier to manage as a Lucene index because there is little to
no overhead to set it up.
But there is no reference on how to configure it.
Any advise is welcome.
Cheers!
In words, your analytic indexes will be using SOLR and your content search indexes will be using Lucene.
To configure your analytic indexes to use SOLR, you can check the following documentation from Sitecore: https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/configuring_servers/configure_a_processing_server#_Solr_configuration
By default, Sitecore already configured Lucene to be used for Content Search. So, for this, there is no change required.
However, I am not sure that SOLR and Lucene can be used for Content Search or xDB at the same time because of its configuration. For example, the Content Search makes use of the index configuration master, web and core. If you decide to use SOLR for Content Search, you will need to disable the Lucene configuration file from the Include folder.

I am learning solr and want to use solr for stemming words.I'll be passing the word to the solr and it should send the stemmed word back.I know how to configure solr core for different stemming patterns and also i am able to view their stemmed words in the analyzer (solr admin ui) but i am not sure how to achieve this using java code.I am able to index and query using java api.
I am using solr-5.3.0.
If you need to just stem the words I would recommend you not to use the whole Solr. Just use the code they use for stemming or something similar. E.g. you can use
org.apache.lucene.analysis.en.PorterStemmer.stem(String)
Unfortunately PorterStemmer has package level access so I would just copy it from the sources or you can search the Internet for some other stemmer implementations. I hope that helps.
Good luck!
I am using alfresco 4.1 & want to integrate it with solr search so that solr can access all alfresco content (keeping in mind authentication etc).
I know solr is inbuilt inside alfresco but i have a solr instance running separately which integrates searches from a number of other sources also such as DBs etc.
Which would be the best way forward?
Regards.
I got one of the way to do it. I can install solr on a separate server & use solrj apis within alfresco for integration.
Programatically, i can dump alfresco content for indexing to solr search using solrj using custom built xml for alfresco contents. Once xml are available to solr, it can be consumed by solr server & can be indexed by it. These indexes would be separate from alfresco OOTB indexes.
Once indexed, it is good to go. Using solr apis, i can search same content in solr server, instead of alfresco plus benefit of integrating multiple content sources with solr so that solr can be used as universal search.
However, when content items go to large volumes, i could see a performance hit as for every content item in alfresco , solr needs to index it. Any workaround possible?
Regards.
We are using Liferay (6.1.20 EE) with Solr search engine.
Now Solr indexes everything. Can we somehow set up Solr (or Liferay) to prevent one Site from being indexed?
It means all articles documents present on that Site would not be indexed and would not be present in Solr.
1) Should this be done with Solr configurations/schema filters before Index starts?
OR
2) Should it be customized in Liferay Indexer classes (with help of Hooks or EXT) to skip content being indexed.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.
Regards,
Kris
You could create a custom version of the solr-web WAR file that you need to install to make the Liferay/SOLR integration work. In the WAR file you'll find SolrIndexWriterImpl. This is the place that everything passes through that will be indexed in SOLR. You could create your own custom implementation of this class that uses the information in the SearchContext parameter, that's passed into each method, to decide if something should be indexed or not.
The latest code for solr-web can be found here: http://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/plugins/trunk/webs/solr-web/
Based on this code I was also able to create a solr-web.war that works on the more recent SOLR versions instead of the ancient 1.4.1 version Liferay uses by default.
I am comparing Lucene/Solr, Whoosh, Sphinx and Xapian for searching documents in DOC, DOCX, HTML and PDF. Only Solr is documented to have a document parser (Tika) which directly indexes documents. So it seems a clear winner.
But to level the playing field, I like to consider the alternatives. Do the others have direct document indexing (which I may have missed)? If not are they can it be implemented easily? Or is Solr the overwhelming choice?
On Sphinx you're able to convert file using a PHP script through the xmlpipe_command option. Since PHP has a Tika-wrapper, writing the script and the setup itself aren't hard.
