Solr Search for NodeBB

This is a fork of the original nodebb-plugin-solr package. It includes some minor adjustments that are pushed upstream.

From Wikipedia:

Solr (pronounced "solar") is an open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling.

This plugin extends NodeBB to utilise an installation of Apache Solr as a search backend.

Configuration

1. Install this plugin via npm: npm install nodebb-plugin-cppnet-solr
2. Activate it in the Plugins page
3. Restart NodeBB
4. Check that the plugin has successfully connected to the search engine. If not, adjust as necessary.

Installation

npm install nodebb-plugin-cppnet-solr

Adjustments

The list of differences from the nodebb-plugin-solr version 5.0.0:

• Rebuilding dialog is displayed when the user navigates back to the plugin page and the rebuilding is still going on
• Removed unnecessary retrieval of all user entries in the database (no index is built from it anyway)
• Batching of topic metadata collection (can fix timeout issues with the MongoDB)
• Updated LRU-cache and solr-client dependencies to latest versions
• Removed an error in case of an error (it tried to add to Solr after an error)
• Improved progress reporting (added message what it is doing currently)
