MySQL performance nightmares: Solr to the rescue
11 May 2011
For almost a year we have worked very hard on a huge project: Oneindig Noord-Holland. In case you were wondering why it’s been a bit quiet from my side: That’s why.
One of the key features of this website was its search feature. It’s going to be a huge collection of items of different types: stories, events, news, profiles, images, videos and a lot more… All these types of items can have the same properties: title, author, description, tags, dates, date ranges, specific locations, location areas and links to other items. These items can also have content which contains text, images, videos, links to other items and more. As a visitor you need to be able to work your way through all these items and that’s where the search comes in.
