Comment 3 for bug 680710

Hi Mahmoud,

Solr search used to work back in about Mahara 1.0 days, with Solr 1.2.

I haven't tried it since way back, but I was told it no longer worked so I removed the solr option from the site options page for 1.3. Looking at it now, it relies on snoopy/Snoopy.class.php which was removed some time ago (not sure why exactly), but I guess it may still work if you have installed snoopy independently of Mahara.

But even if it's still possible to get it to work, we will probably leave it out of the admin options until someone rewrites the plugin to remove dependency on snoopy and bring it up to date with the latest version of solr. We also need to check through everything that's been added to Mahara since snoopy got removed to make sure solr is still indexing the right fields.

But if you have managed to get it working, congratulations! If not, and you still need full text indexing, you could try the sphinx plugin by Antti Koskinen (just do a search on mahara.org).
