Opensolr Changelog — Recent Updates & Improvements

Drupal Apr 22, 2026

New Opensolr Search for Drupal 3.5.0 — adds the Lexical Only search mode, matching the option in the Opensolr admin. Skips the embedding request entirely and runs pure lexical search. When selected, the Minimum Relevance Score is auto-zeroed (on save and at query time) so results aren't filtered out by a hybrid-calibrated threshold. Same feature across the stack — Opensolr admin, Drupal module, WordPress plugin.

New Opensolr Search for Drupal 3.4.0 — adds the Minimum Relevance Score slider to Search Tuning, matching the feature in the Opensolr admin. Drops low-scoring hybrid hits from results and facet counts. Slider is in 0.1 increments, default 0.3. Includes an update hook that restores the setting for sites upgrading from older versions.

New Drupal Module Partner Program — get 50% off any small or medium plan for a full year by installing and actively using the free Opensolr Search Drupal module. Provide feedback, suggestions, or bug reports in exchange. Apply from the pricing page.
New Hierarchical drill-down facets — navigate multi-level taxonomies like breadcrumbs (e.g. Products > Electrical testing > Clamp meters). Auto-detected from JSON-LD BreadcrumbList data. Supports starting from any level and "Show more" for large lists.

New Opensolr Search for Drupal 2.0 released — major update with Data Ingestion API, real-time sync on every node save/delete, async bulk ingestion via Drupal cron (scales to 500K+ documents), full CJK/UTF-8 safety, and a 3-round security audit. Full documentation.

New Opensolr Search — official Drupal module now available on Drupal.org. Adds hybrid vector + keyword search, faceted navigation, autocomplete, AI Hints, AI Reader, spellcheck, Query Elevation, built-in analytics dashboard, and a sitemap generator — all powered by the Web Crawler. No dependency on Search API. Works with Drupal 10 and 11.
