Sachin, You might more response on this list is you can describe a little in detail what your application needs to do. A lot of us haven't used Endeca and won't understand exactly what you mean here.
With that said, I migrated a few apps from Endeca to Solr a few years back and will try to help with your questions best I can... 1. I never used this Endeca feature and wasn't aware it existed. Do you mean that Endeca scans the keywords and if some keyword exists it just sends the user to some arbitrary place? I don't think Solr supports this at all but then again I doubt it would be hard for you to re-implement, either in your application or by extending Solr's SearchHandler. 2. Solr's facets can only sort descending by count or alphabetically. So if you have Dimensions set up in Forge that you've ordered in some custom way, you're going to have to move that sorting to your application. Or, you can prepend the data with the sort order and then have your application strip the prefix out (and sort alphabetically). http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters 3. Automatic Phrasing. You can approximate this feature either using Shingles, index-time synonyms, or with the spellchecking features. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters?#solr.CommonGramsFilterFactory http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters?#solr.SynonymFilterFactory http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpellCheckComponent#spellcheck.collate https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2993 4. Dynamic Business Rules. In my opinion, here is where Endeca really has an advantage. We never used the features, but my understanding is that Endeca has a web interface where business users can log in and then configure their sales promotions, etc so as to score promoted results above others, etc. To my knowledge, the closest thing Solr has is QueryElevationComponent, which might do the job for you but it is probably a lot less rich than what Endeca can offer. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/QueryElevationComponent James Dyer E-Commerce Systems Ingram Content Group (615) 213-4311 -----Original Message----- From: Sachin Gangadhar Katarki [mailto:sachin_kata...@infosys.com] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 1:27 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: search features Endeca vs Solr Hi Everyone, I am looking for search features similar to what Endeca provides in Solr. I have googled a lot could not get answer for few and for some I could not get a right answers. 1) Keyword re-direct : On search particular keyword user will be redirected to configured URL 2) Dimension ordering : In Refinements we can move the values in the hierarchy. Can we do the same in solr ?? 3) Automatic phrasing : 4) Dynamic business rule: Best Regards, Sachin.G.K RCLADT| Infosys ltd|E-city Bangalore **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
