Apache Solr is an incredibly fast and powerful  search with its own database that is well suited to handling complex queries across records of large databases. This service is mainly aimed at developers and web site administrators who are looking to improve the way their site can be searched and navigated.

Why use GreenNet's Drupal Search based on Apache Solr?

Apache Solr is an incredibly fast and reliable system but can be complex to get running and maintain. It has proven to be invaluable for many content rich sites. The system is open-source which means you'll never be tied in with us as your supplier. At the moment, only a few other providers offer this as a service, and even fewer as a stand alone service.  We offer this so you don't have to worry about the complexities of installing and running your own Apache Solr search installation and at a very competitive price.

How does it work?

All you need to do is to sign up for the service, install the Apache Solr module for Drupal on your site, and we will send you the access details that you use to configure the Solr module. If your site is already using the GreenNet Drupal hosting system there is no need to install anything: just enable the Apache Solr module in Drupal!
