Opensolr Changelog — Recent Updates & Improvements

Search Apr 4, 2026

Improved Price filter topbar slider tooltips now show thousands separators (e.g. 15,638.00 instead of 15638.00). Consistent number formatting across all slider controls, tooltips, and input fields.

Improved Per-facet minimum count threshold — configure how many documents a facet value needs before it appears. Instant CSS tooltips on facet hover replace slow browser title popups. Facet values preserve original casing from the source data.

Improved Improved web crawler date extraction for sites that lack JSON-LD or meta tags. New targeted extraction looks for dates inside HTML elements with date-related CSS classes (e.g. .date, .posted, .info) — much safer than scanning all page text.

Improved Active filter pills now show numbers with thousands separators (e.g. "Price from: 9,507.99" instead of "9507.99"). Applies to both the facet sidebar pills and the topbar price filter pills.
Improved Facet slider inputs now display numbers with thousands separators (e.g. 15,637.00 instead of 15637.00) for better readability. Float fields (_f) show 2 decimals, integer fields show none. Min values are floored and max values are ceiled so the range always covers all results.

Improved Homepage Drupal card updated — now showcases the Opensolr Search for Drupal module with full-text search, facets, analytics, and AI features. New vector search e-commerce demo added to the live demos section.

Improved Web Crawler now respects the package's vector access flag — indexes without AI features skip embedding generation during crawls, saving GPU resources and speeding up indexing.

Improved GPU priority queue for AI embeddings — user-facing search requests now always jump ahead of background crawler batch jobs. Prevents slow search during heavy indexing. Includes a configurable timeout so search falls back to lexical instantly if the GPU is busy.

Improved Search header now stays fixed at the top while scrolling through results, keeping the search box and controls always within reach.
Improved Search transitions now show a loading overlay with animated dots, so you know the search is working — especially helpful on slower connections or large indexes.
