tx_solr.search

The search section, you probably already guessed it, provides configuration options for the all things related to actually searching the index, setting query parameters, formatting and processing result documents and the result listing.

filter

Since: 1.0
Default:
Type: String

Adds additional parameters to the search initialization.

targetPage

Since: 1.0
Default: 0
Type: Integer

Sets the target page ID for links. If it is empty or 0, the current page ID will be used.

allowEmptyQuery

Since: 1.0
Default: 0
Options: 0,1
Type: Boolean

If enabled, empty queries are allowed.

form

Since: 1.0
Default: simple
Type: String

Sets the form style.

query

The query sub-section defines a few query parameters for the query that will be sent to the Solr server later on. Some query parameters are also generated and set by the extension itself, f.e. when using facets.

query.fields

Since: 1.0
Default: content^40.0, title^5.0, keywords^2.0, tagsH1^5.0, tagsH2H3^3.0, tagsH4H5H6^2.0, tagsInline^1.0
Type: String

Defines what fields to search in the index. Fields are defined as a comma separated list. Each field can be given a boost by appending the boost value separated by the ^ character, that's Lucene query language. The boost value itself is a float value, pay attention to using a dot as the separator for the fractions. Use this option to add more fields to search.

The boost take influence on what score a document gets when searching and thus how documents are ranked and listed in the search results. A higher score will move documents up in the result listing. The boost is a multiplier for the original score value of a document for a search term.

By default if a search term is found in the content field the documents gets scored / ranked higher as if a term was found in the title or keywords field. Although the default should provide a good setting, you can play around with the boost values to find the best ranking for your content.

query.minimumMatch

Since: 1.2, 2.0
Default: (empty)
See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler#mm_.28Minimum_.27Should.27_Match.29
Type: String

Sets the minimum match mm query parameter.
By default the mm query parameter is set in solrconfig.xml as 2<-35%. This means that for queries with less than three words they all must match the searched fields of a document. For queries with three or more words at least 65% of them must match rounded up.

Please consult the link to the Solr wiki for a more detailed description of the mm syntax.

query.boostFunction

Since: 1.2, 2.0
Default: (empty)
See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler#bf_.28Boost_Functions.29
Type: String

Sets the boost function bf query parameter.
Allows to further manipulate the score of a document by using mathematical functions and field values of the current document.
A common use case for boost functions is to rank newer documents higher than older ones.

Please consult the link to the Solr wiki for a more detailed description of boost functions.

Type: String

Defines how facet options are sorted, by default they are sorted by count of results, highest on top. count, 1, true are aliases for each other.
Facet options can also be sorted alphabetically (lexicographic by indexed term) by setting the option to index. index, 0, false, alpha (from version 1.2 and 2.0), and lex (from version 1.2 and 2.0) are aliases for index.

faceting.limit

Since: 1.0
Default: 10
See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.limit

This indicates the maximum number of constraint counts that should be returned for the facet fields. A negative value means unlimited.

faceting.singleFacetMode

Since: 1.2, 2.0
Default: 0
Options: 0, 1
Type: Boolean

If enabled, the user can only use one facet at a time.

Lets say you have you have two facets configured, type and author. If the user selects a facet option from type its filter is added to the query. Normally when selecting another option from the other facet - the author facet - this would lead to having two facet filters applied to the query. When this option is activated the option from the author facet will simply replace the first option from the type facet.

faceting.facets

Since: 1.0
Default: type, author
See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrFacetingOverview
Type: cObject

Defines on which fields you want to facet. It's a list of facet configurations.

 1 plugin.tx_solr.search.faceting.facets {
 2     // type is the name of the facet configuration, you can choose whatever name
 3   type {
 4     field = type // the index field you want to create a facet from
 5     label = Content Type // a label
 6     sortBy = index // sorte the facet options alphabetically, otherwise they are sorted by count, options with more results on top
 7 
 8     keepAllOptionsOnSelection = 1 // if set allows to choose more than one option from this facet
 9     operator = OR // used in combination with keepAllOptionsOnSelection to set how multiple options from one facet are combined, can also be AND
10     selectingSelectedFacetOptionRemovesFilter = 1 // boolean; if enabled, the facet options behave like switches. On first selection they add the filter for the facet option, on a second click they will remove the filter again. Currently requires keepAllOptionsOnSelection to be set to use this.
11   }
12 
13   myOtherFacet {
14     ...
15   }
16 }

faceting.facets.[facet] - single facet configuration

You can add new facets by simply adding a new facet configuration in TypoScript. [facet] represents the facet's name and acts as a configuration "container" for a single facet. All configuration options for that facet are defined within that "container".

A facet will use the values of a configured index field to offer these values as filter options to your site's visitors. You need to make sure that the facet field's type allows to sort the field's value; like string, int, and other primitive types.

faceting.facets.[facet].field

Since: 1.0
Type: String
Required

Which field to use to create the facet.

faceting.facets.[facet].label

Since: 1.0
Type: String
Required

Used as a headline or title to describe the options of a facet.

faceting.facets.[facet].selectingSelectedFacetOptionRemovesFilter

Since: 1.2, 2.0
Default: 0
Options: 0, 1
Type: Boolean

Activating this option for a facet makes the facet's option links behave like on/off switches: You click them once to activate a facet, you click them a second time to deactivate the facet again.

Feel free to suggest a better name for this option...

faceting.facets.[facet].keepAllOptionsOnSelection

Since: 1.2, 2.0
Default: 0
Options: 0, 1
Type: Boolean

Normally, when clicking any option link of a facet this would result in only that one option being displayed afterwards. By setting this option to one, you can prevent this. All options will still be displayed.

This is useful if you want to allow the user to select more than one option from a single facet.

faceting.facets.[facet].operator

Since: 1.2, 2.0
Default: AND
Options: OR, AND
Type: String

When configuring a facet to allow selection of multiple options, you can use this option to decide whether multiple selected options should be combined using AND or OR.

faceting.facets.[facet].renderingInstruction

Since: 1.0
Type: cObject

Overwrites how single facet options are rendered using TypoScript cObjects.

Example: (taken from issue #5920)

 1 plugin.tx_solr {

30                         0.value = English

35                         1.lang.de = Deutsch
36                     }
