Onsite Search with Apache Solr
We integrate powerful onsite searches with Apache Solr so that users can find what they are looking for immediately. Fast, scalable, and tailored to your content.
Why smart search is crucial
If visitors to your website cannot find what they are looking for, they will leave – often after just a few seconds. A powerful search function helps make content findable, retain users, and shorten conversion paths. With Apache Solr, we create search experiences that are structured, error-tolerant, and lightning-fast, even with large amounts of data and complex structures. So your website offers solutions instead of raising questions.
Precisely tailored and customized
We integrate Apache Solr into your existing TYPO3 environment or individual system architecture. We tailor the indexing precisely to your content, develop search logic and filter structures, and design a search function that fits seamlessly into the user experience. Our focus is not only on technology, but also on relevance: Which content should be displayed preferentially? How can the editorial team be meaningfully involved? The answers to these questions flow directly into our implementation.
Project process in four phases
1. Clarification of objectives
Together, we analyze what content should be searched, how users search, and what the system needs to be able to do. From this, we derive requirements and technical specifications.
2. Concept
We plan the index structure, relevance rating, filter options, and the search front end. In doing so, we take into account editorial content, user guidance, and existing systems.
3. Implementation
The search is set up, connected, and indexed. We configure relevance factors, autocomplete, synonyms, and individual weightings—depending on your needs and complexity.
4. Testing & Handover
After testing and fine-tuning, the search function goes live. Upon request, we train editors in how to use the configuration and provide support for continuous optimization.
Solr, implemented with precision
We don't develop off-the-shelf search solutions, but rather ones based on our understanding of the system and editorial perspective. Our team has experience with complex TYPO3 and enterprise projects and knows how to intelligently combine structure, performance, and user guidance. We think beyond the hit list: we design search functions that fit seamlessly into the overall concept of your website and bring measurable added value.
