In a recent post, I wrote about how we can group items in Solr search facets. This latest addition to the Solr post series will discuss how one can change the link text in Facet API’s Drupal blocks.
It is common nowadays for Drupal sites to offload search duties to Solr by employing the Apache Solr Search and
Facet API modules. Working together, these two modules can automatically build search facets that display
filters for various aspects of the content, such as the content type, or taxonomy terms. In certain cases,
it might be necessary to influence the way those facets filter content. This post will discuss a scenario
where we may want to group multiple filters together inside a facet block such that they only appear as one item.
Apache Solr is a great alternative to Drupal’s built-in search engine. With the help of the Apache Solr contributed module, it is not even too difficult to get it up and running on any Drupal site. Even though Solr is a very sophisticated search platform with many features, there is one kind of functionality that it does not provide out of the box: paragraph level search results.
