Opensolr Search Drupal Module 3.8.0: Thumbnails, Facet Mapping and Multi-Valued Fields

Opensolr Search 3.8.0 is tagged on drupal.org — the first public release since 3.6.0. It brings result thumbnails, a Facet Mapping form that suggests fields for you, and multi-valued field support end to end.

01 Configurable result thumbnails

You can now nominate which field supplies the thumbnail shown against each search result, rather than accepting a fixed choice.

02 Facet Mapping, with suggestions

The Facet Mapping form auto-suggests as you fill it in, so you are picking from what your index actually holds instead of typing field names from memory.

Saves apply immediately

Saving a new Facet Mapping now takes effect straight away — no drush cr required. Render cache tags are invalidated on save, so every cached node and commerce product page re-renders with the newly mapped opensolr:* meta tags the next time it is viewed.

03 Multi-valued fields, end to end

Multi-valued fields are now handled across the whole pipeline: the crawler, ingestion, and the meta tags written onto the page.
