Hi,
We recently implemented Solr for one major search component of our
site, and now that this is complete we're turning to other areas of
our site to see where Solr can help us improve results relevancy and
performance.
One major area where I think Solr could do a lot of good is to replace
Wordpress's search function. Wordpress powers a solid 1/3 of our
site, and moving this over could provide dramatic performance
benefits. I see there is a Lucene plugin for WP but I have not seen
any plugin yet using Solr. While I'm not terribly afraid of writing
one (we've already completely replaced the built-in routine with our
own plugin to optimize MySQL searching), it would of course be even
better if there was some sort of plugin already out there (why
reinvent the wheel)? Somehow it just seems strange that no one would
have tried this yet.
I figure if anyone knows, someone on this list knows. Thanks for any
info!
