About this talk

What the session covered.

Vineet and Ivaylo Kolbinger Ivanov covered the integration architecture between WordPress and Apache Solr at WordCamp Frankfurt 2016, one of the more powerful options for extending WordPress search beyond what the native MySQL-based system can handle.

The session covered the case for Solr, indexing strategy, query handling, and the operational requirements of running Solr alongside a WordPress installation.
