Opensolr runs your Solr in four shapes, from a shared index you can start using in minutes to a multi-region cluster with failover. They share the same control panel, the same API and the same configuration files, so moving between them is a plan change, not a migration.
The same index, hosted four ways. You move up when traffic or availability requirements ask for it.
01 · The four hosting types
| Type | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone Shared Solr Cloud | An index on shared infrastructure, live in minutes. Register free and start. | Small applications and sites, evaluations, development. |
| Simple Dedicated Solr Cloud | Everything the shared cloud does, on hardware nobody else is using. | Production workloads that need predictable resources. |
| Dedicated Resilient Cluster | High availability through load balancing, with read and write separated across a master and its replicas. | Traffic that cannot afford a single point of failure. |
| Multi-Region Failover Cluster | A resilient cluster spread across two regions, behind one endpoint. | Workloads with a geographic availability requirement. |
02 · Site search without writing a crawler
The Opensolr Web Crawler points at any website and builds the index for you.
Site search without code
Give it a URL, get a searchable index. No integration work on your side.
JavaScript rendering
A headless Chromium is built in, for pages and single-page applications that render their content in the browser.
Content extraction
HTML, PDF, DOCX, XLSX and ODT are read and indexed as text.
Enrichment on the way in
Price detection, sentiment analysis and language identification, per document.
Two lines of HTML put a working search box on any page.
No-results tracking, click analytics and query elevation.
03 · Custom work
Search implementation
Integration work for PHP and JavaScript backends, done by the people who run the platform.
Configuration and relevance consultancy
Schema design, analysis chains, query tuning. Priced separately from hosting.
Not sure which one you need?
Tell us the traffic, the document count and the availability you need. Sizing is a five-minute conversation, and starting on the shared cloud costs nothing.
