Solr for Magento - Community Edition

A successful implementation of Solr for Magento Community Edition will require three task areas to be performed:

  1. Installation and configuration of Solr (either on a single server, or a cluster) within a web application container (such as Tomcat, JBoss, or Jetty).
  2. Extraction and population of your eCommerce product data into the Solr index.
  3. Integration of Solr search results into the Magento platform.

Magento Community Edition customers seeking to take advantage of robust Solr search results will need to consider how to implement each of these task areas. Innovent can either be engaged to perform all task areas required, or we can work with you collaboratively to complete any portion.

 

Additionally, Innovent Solutions offers search and merchandising consulting to help you take full advantage of the Solr search offering. Whether you are looking for best practices consultation, product mentoring, or certified Solr training, we have Solr eCommerce experts available to improve your search offering and help you improve your shopper experience.
