Intelligent Search Applications with Solr and PHP
This is a presentation on how to create intelligent web-based search applications using PHP 5 and the out-of-the-box features available in Solr 1.4.
The presentation will cover how to set up Solr 1.4 with Tomcat 6 with and without SSL.
Then I will illustrate how to set up and configure the Solr PHP extension.
After the set up, we will move to illustrating a basic configuration tailored for a simple use case such as a job search website, online music store or simple classifieds website.
After we finish we finish the illustration of adding, updating and removing data from the Solr index, we will discuss how to add features such as auto-completion, hit highlighting, faceted navigation, spelling suggestions, similar matches and a host of other features Solr 1.4 has to offer to the search application.
