Opensolr Changelog — Recent Updates & Improvements

WordPress Apr 22, 2026

New Opensolr Search for WordPress 1.0.7 — adds the Lexical Only search mode, matching the Opensolr admin and Drupal module. Explicit opt-out from vector: no embedding API call is made, search runs through the lexical edismax path. The Minimum Relevance Score slider auto-zeroes the moment the radio is picked (backend enforces this on save and at query time as well). Yellow note in Search Mode explains the coupling.

New Opensolr Search for WordPress 1.0.5 — adds the Minimum Relevance Score slider to Search Tuning, matching the feature in the Opensolr admin and Drupal module. Drops low-scoring hybrid hits from results and facet counts, cleaning up catalog and content searches. Slider is in 0.1 increments, default 0.3.

Fix Fixed WordPress plugin Save & Connect not registering the sitemap URL with the crawler, and Save & Start Fresh not deleting the previous index. Also added full-screen progress modal with step-by-step status and error reporting during setup, and improved product meta tag injection for WooCommerce (BreadcrumbList, price, currency, product categories).
