Replace the standard WP search with a high performance/quality search, performed by the world’s leading open source search engine, Apache Solr.
Standard WP search is performed by SQL queries directly on the database. So do most of search plugins.
But SQL is awfully greedy in computer resources, especially when it comes to table joins and wild cards (select * where field like ‘%keyword%’), which are both heavily used by search.
And SQL can’t keep well with natural language: synonyms, language specific plurals, stop-words, …
Fortunately, performance and relevance are features built specifically in full-text search engines.
Using a search engine, you’ll be able to deliver more accurate search to your visitors, for far less computer resources, which means better for cheaper.
The purpose of this plugin is to help you setup your dear Wordpress search to your own Apache Solr server, or to a hosted Apache server.
Apache Solr is the World leading Open source full-text Search Engine. No question on that.
And now, with this plugin, you can get it for free. So, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the trip.
