#count_by_solr(query, options = {}) ⇒ Object

def count_by_solr(query, options = {})        
  data = parse_query(query, options)
  data.total_hits
end

#find_by_solr(query, options = {}) ⇒ Object Also known as: search

Finds instances of a model. Terms are ANDed by default, can be overwritten by using OR between terms

Here’s a sample (untested) code for your controller:

def search
  results = Book.find_by_solr params[:query]
end

You can also search for specific fields by searching for ‘field:value’

options:

offset

  • The first document to be retrieved (offset)

page

  • The page to be retrieved

limit

  • The number of rows per page

per_page

  • Alias for limit

order

  • Orders (sort by) the result set using a given criteria:

    Book.find_by_solr 'ruby', :order => 'description asc'
field_types

This option is deprecated and will be obsolete by version 1.0. There’s no need to specify the :field_types anymore when doing a search in a model that specifies a field type for a field. The field types are automatically traced back when they’re included.

class Electronic < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_solr :fields => [{:price => :range_float}]
end
facets

This option argument accepts the following arguments:

fields

The fields to be included in the faceted search (Solr’s facet.field)

query

The queries to be included in the faceted search (Solr’s facet.query)

zeros

Display facets with count of zero. (true|false)

sort

Sorts the faceted resuls by highest to lowest count. (true|false)

browse

This is where the ‘drill-down’ of the facets work. Accepts an array of fields in the format “facet_field:term”

mincount

Replacement for zeros (it has been deprecated in Solr). Specifies the minimum count necessary for a facet field to be returned. (Solr’s facet.mincount) Overrides :zeros if it is specified. Default is 0.

dates

Run date faceted queries using the following arguments:

fields

The fields to be included in the faceted date search (Solr’s facet.date). It may be either a String/Symbol or Hash. If it’s a hash the options are the same as date_facets minus the fields option (i.e., :start:, :end, :gap, :other, :between). These options if provided will override the base options. (Solr’s f.<field_name>.date.<key>=<value>).

start

The lower bound for the first date range for all Date Faceting. Required if :fields is present

end

The upper bound for the last date range for all Date Faceting. Required if :fields is prsent

gap

The size of each date range expressed as an interval to be added to the lower bound using the DateMathParser syntax. Required if :fields is prsent

hardend

A Boolean parameter instructing Solr what do do in the event that facet.date.gap does not divide evenly between facet.date.start and facet.date.end.

other

This param indicates that in addition to the counts for each date range constraint between facet.date.start and facet.date.end, other counds should be calculated. May specify more then one in an Array. The possible options are:

before

  • all records with lower bound less than start

after

  • all records with upper bound greater than end

between

  • all records with field values between start and end

none

  • compute no other bounds (useful in per field assignment)

all

  • shortcut for before, after, and between

filter

Similar to :query option provided by :facets, in that accepts an array of of date queries to limit results. Can not be used as a part of a :field hash. This is the only option that can be used if :fields is not present.

Example:

Electronic.find_by_solr "memory", :facets => {:zeros => false, :sort => true,
                                              :query => ["price:[* TO 200]",
                                                         "price:[200 TO 500]",
                                                         "price:[500 TO *]"],
                                              :fields => [:category, :manufacturer],
                                              :browse => ["category:Memory","manufacturer:Someone"]}

Examples of date faceting:

basic:
  Electronic.find_by_solr "memory", :facets => {:dates => {:fields => [:updated_at, :created_at],
    :start => 'NOW-10YEARS/DAY', :end => 'NOW/DAY', :gap => '+2YEARS', :other => :before}}

advanced:
  Electronic.find_by_solr "memory", :facets => {:dates => {:fields => [:updated_at,
  {:created_at => {:start => 'NOW-20YEARS/DAY', :end => 'NOW-10YEARS/DAY', :other => [:before, :after]}
  }], :start => 'NOW-10YEARS/DAY', :end => 'NOW/DAY', :other => :before, :filter =>
  ["created_at:[NOW-10YEARS/DAY TO NOW/DAY]", "updated_at:[NOW-1YEAR/DAY TO NOW/DAY]"]}}

filter only:
  Electronic.find_by_solr "memory", :facets => {:dates => {:filter => "updated_at:[NOW-1YEAR/DAY TO NOW/DAY]"}}
scores

If set to true this will return the score as a ‘solr_score’ attribute for each one of the instances found. Does not currently work with find_id_by_solr

books = Book.find_by_solr 'ruby OR splinter', :scores => true
books.records.first.solr_score
=> 1.21321397
books.records.last.solr_score
=> 0.12321548
lazy

If set to true the search will return objects that will touch the database when you ask for one of their attributes for the first time. Useful when you’re using fragment caching based solely on types and ids.

relevance

Sets fields relevance

Book.find_by_solr "zidane", :relevance => {:title => 5, :author => 2}

#multi_solr_search(query, options = {}) ⇒ Object

This method can be used to execute a search across multiple models:

Book.multi_solr_search "Napoleon OR Tom", :models => [Movie]

options:

Accepts the same options as find_by_solr plus:

models

The additional models you’d like to include in the search

results_format

Specify the format of the results found

:objects

Will return an array with the results being objects (default). Example:

Book.multi_solr_search "Napoleon OR Tom", :models => [Movie], :results_format => :objects
:ids

Will return an array with the ids of each entry found. Example:

Book.multi_solr_search "Napoleon OR Tom", :models => [Movie], :results_format => :ids
=> [{"id" => "Movie:1"},{"id" => Book:1}]

Where the value of each array is as Model:instance_id

scores

If set to true this will return the score as a ‘solr_score’ attribute for each one of the instances found. Does not currently work with find_id_by_solr

books = Book.multi_solr_search 'ruby OR splinter', :scores => true
books.records.first.solr_score
=> 1.21321397

end

#rebuild_solr_index(batch_size = 0, &finder) ⇒ Object

It’s used to rebuild the Solr index for a specific model. 

Book.rebuild_solr_index

If batch_size is greater than 0, adds will be done in batches. NOTE: If using sqlserver, be sure to use a finder with an explicit order. Non-edge versions of rails do not handle pagination correctly for sqlserver without an order clause.

If a finder block is given, it will be called to retrieve the items to index. This can be very useful for things such as updating based on conditions or using eager loading for indexed associations.
