I would like to introduce new module Search API Location that provides possibility to do spatial search using Apachesolr. At the moment we can search by radius on the map putting the center of the circle. You are welcome to test on Demo site. Technical details Search API Solr module is used for integration with Solr. Search API Location module exports location data to Search API via hook_entity_property_info_alter().

Today we are going to talk about really awesome module Search API

One of the most popular tasks I have regarding customizing apachesolr search results is adding new fields to index and to have custom facet for them. So lets discuss how it is done if we are using Search API module.

In this article I would like to show how to build very nice user experience search page with facets. For this we will use Apache Solr as our search engine and some custom code to make it fully AJAX (with full non-javascript support).

Here is demo screencast of what we want to do.
