Opensolr Changelog — Recent Updates & Improvements

Index Management Feb 27, 2026

Improved The Optimize button in Index Tools is now smarter. It detects whether an optimization is already running and shows you live index stats — segments, index size, document count, and deleted docs — every time you click it. If an optimization is in progress, it shows the current status instead of accidentally starting a second one. No more guessing or clicking Check Progress repeatedly.
New New Schedule Optimize feature in Index Tools. You can now set your Solr index to automatically optimize on a recurring schedule — pick any interval from 2 to 365 days, and Opensolr handles the rest with a server-side cron job. A single toggle button lets you start or stop the schedule at any time, and shows your current interval at a glance.

Improved Default worker count increased from 3 to 10 and default batch size from 100 to 200 items per worker, delivering significantly faster indexing out of the box on modern servers.
Improved Background mode is now the default — drush ost automatically runs as a background daemon that survives SSH disconnection. No need to add --background anymore. Use --no-background if you want foreground/interactive mode.
New Per-server and per-index stop control — use drush osstop --server=my_server to stop only one indexer while others continue running. You can also stop a specific index session with --index without affecting anything else.
New Multi-instance parallel indexing — you can now run multiple indexers simultaneously on different Solr servers or indexes. Each session is fully isolated with its own log files, PID tracking, and worker processes, so indexing production and staging at the same time is now fully supported.
New New Search button added next to the server filter dropdown on the My Solr Indexes page — tap or click to search without needing to press Enter, making it easier to filter your indexes especially on mobile and tablet.
Improved Search on the My Solr Indexes page now works reliably on mobile devices — the search bar uses native form submission so the Go, Search, and Done buttons on any mobile keyboard (Gboard, SwiftKey, iOS, Samsung) all trigger the search correctly.
Improved The Indexes and Clusters list now remembers your search filter in the URL — bookmark or share a filtered view of your indexes, especially useful when managing a large number of indexes.
