Finding the right search solution can seem like a mythological struggle. This Atlantis-themed session will help examine what Acquia hosted search and Search API have to offer to tame this beast.

Within, we will explore the proper tools and gear (Drupal, Search API, and related modules) you should equip yourself with to be prepared for the long and sometimes perilous adventure of finding content in the deep blue drop known as the ocean (Drupal).

Additionally, we will cover how to prepare your vessel (Solr) to best support your venture by making sure that it is properly configured and equipped (schema.xml and solrconfig.xml) to understand your mission requirements that way you can beat the competing pirates to the ultimate goal.

For the more stalwart adventurers, we will also discuss how enhance the experience by adding autocomplete (Search API Autocomplete) and even special engine parts (Solr cores and Google Analytics) to your vessel to allow your venture through the deep blue sea that is your content in the venture or the Atlantean node!

This session will cover topics like:

  • Search API intro
  • Basic searches
  • Search API and views
  • Search API, views and handling listing pages
  • Faceted search
