Language Support

The SolrSearch plugin is configured by default to index English, but has configurations for the following languages:

• Arabic
• Bulgarian
• Catalan
• CJK bigram
• Czech
• Danish
• German
• Greek
• Spanish
• Basque
• Persian
• Finnish
• French
• Irish
• Galician
• Hindi
• Hungarian
• Armenian
• Indonesian
• Italian
• Hebrew
• Japanese (using morphological analysis)
• Latvian
• Dutch
• Norwegian
• Portuguese
• Romanian
• Russian
• Swedish
• Thai
• Turkish

To use a different indexing schema, you will need to change the SolrSearch's fulltext entry in the schema.xml. Find the line that reads

<field name="fulltext" type="text_en" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/>

You will need to change the type attribute to the language you need to handle in the format 'text_ISOcode'. For example, if you have a collection of Irish Gaelic texts, you would change the line to the following:

<field name="fulltext" type="text_ga" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/>

UTF-8 Support

If you are using a non-western character set, make sure the server running Solr (e.g. Tomcat or Jetty) is configured to provide UTF-8 support. See Configuring Tomcat to provide UTF-8 support for Solr for an example for Tomcat.
