Everything You Need for Search
A complete search solution for Drupal — not just a Solr connector.
Hybrid Vector + Keyword Search
Keyword search works out of the box on every plan. Add vector search to understand meaning, not just words — "CMS hosting" also finds "Drupal cloud deployment." Available on vector-enabled plans.
AI Hints & AI Reader
AI-generated answers stream above your search results, using only your own content. Visitors get instant answers without clicking through pages. Available on vector-enabled plans.
Built-in Analytics
Track what people search for, what they click, and what returns no results. Privacy-first — all data stays in your Drupal database, IPs are hashed.
Query Elevation
Pin important results to the top or exclude irrelevant ones. Visual controls right on the search page — just click PIN or EXCLUDE on any result.
Faceted Navigation
Auto-discovered facets with list, slider, date-range, and hierarchical drill-down widgets. Navigate multi-level taxonomies like breadcrumbs. Thousands separators on numeric displays, per-facet mincount, instant tooltips. Zero code. Drag-drop reordering.
Document Search
Index PDFs, Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint files alongside your web pages. The crawler extracts text from all common document formats.
Automatic SEO Meta Tags
Injects canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, meta descriptions, and JSON-LD structured data (Article & Product schemas) on every page. Built for the crawler — but Google loves it just as much.
Auto-Generated Sitemap
Generates /opensolr-sitemap.xml automatically from your selected content types — with lastmod timestamps, document files, and Commerce products. No extra sitemap module needed.
Data Ingestion API
Push content directly to the search index on every node save — no crawler needed, no firewall whitelisting. Real-time sync + async bulk ingestion via Drupal cron. Both methods produce identical documents.
Multilingual Search
Full multi-language support out of the box. Each locale gets its own search results, filtered automatically by the current page language. Works with Drupal's Content Translation — zero configuration.
Two Indexing Methods
Web Crawler pulls pages from your sitemap on a schedule. Data Ingestion pushes content instantly on save. Use both together — ingestion for real-time updates, crawler as a safety net.
It's also a complete SEO module
The Opensolr crawler needs precise metadata to index your pages accurately. So the module automatically injects best-practice SEO tags on every page — and Google benefits from the exact same data. Zero configuration, zero extra modules.
Prevents duplicate content penalties. Every page gets a proper rel=canonical link.
og:title, og:description, og:image (with dimensions), Twitter summary cards — all auto-generated from node fields.
Article schema with author, dates, publisher. Product schema with price and availability. Enables Google rich results.
XML sitemap with lastmod timestamps, document files, and Commerce products. Chunked automatically for large sites.
