Geospatial search with SOLR

 
 
B1.18 - XIO zaal

As the author of the apachesolr_location module, I'd like to show how you can do geospatial search using Drupal & SOLR using these modules: Location, apachesolr and of course apachesolr_location.

Doing this I'd like to spread the world regarding Drupal & SOLR, as I experienced there's a lack of good documentation/information.

Audience:

Anyone interested in integrating SOLR with drupal.

Topics:

  • Integrating drupal & SOLR (apachesolr module)
  • Using location to add coordinates to content items
  • Indepth look at the apachesolr_location module
  • Some extra information regarding geospatial search with SOLR
  • Small demo

Speaker:

Nicolas Leroy, aka phoenix on drupal.org, works as a drupal consultant at AUSY/Dataflow. He builds Drupal sites, does audits, likes experimenting with new technologies & Drupal performance and he also contributes code to drupal.org.
