Hi, we have created an admin interface using substanced and now we are looking to create the retail front end. It has been decided that we should index the data using solr and then use project blacklight to extend the search functionality. I have a vm with my substanced app running and also a running solr server but I need to get the data into solr.

I have looked up indexing zodb with solr and I am continually pointed towards collective.solr but this says 'Next you should activate the collective.solr (site search) add-on in the add-on control panel of Plone.'  I have also found alm.solrindex 1.1.1  but to be honest I am not seeing how to get the data from data.fs into solr.

I understand that there are already indexes stored in the catalogs objects - do I use these? Any help very much appreciated.

Hi,

I haven't done something like that yet, but there's a plugin for repoze.catalog that uses Postgresql text indexes. You could take a look at that and maybe use it as a base:
