Hello everyone,
I hope all of you are doing great :)
I am just going to finish with Google summer of code project "Course search plugin".
The plugin is integration of moodle course search with the apache solr search platform. Solr search can be used as a replacement for existing course search and boasts both extra features and better performance. Among the extra features is the ability of being flexible, case-insensitive, works with non-latin languages, fast, auto complete suggestions, filtering and can sort results by relevance(score).
For the ease of getting through the plugin, I have made the setup over cloud ec2. you just need to go through that URL and start searching.
cloud ec2 Instance URL :-
