Testsuite example with Hippo CMS and Solr

Download or clone the latest Test Suite tag from https://code.onehippo.org/cms-community/hippo-testsuite.

Install and start it with

mvn clean install && mvn -P cargo.run

You will have a /solr webapp available at

http://localhost:8080/solr/admin

When you visit

http://localhost:8080/site

you see the menu items

1. Solr Search : This contains an overview of many features, like

   1. suggestions

   2. highlighting

   3. did you mean

   4. search in scope

   5. search only for certain bean types

   6. order by some criteria

   7. search in certain fields only

   8. date ranges

2. Solr Faceted : This contains a faceted example combining free text search using Solr, and at the same time show the pretty facet/value kind of URLs
3. Solr Indexer : Showing all JCR documents and buttons to index them into Solr.
4. GoGreen Solr Indexer : Through this page, you can index some external GOGREEN product sources. There is a pre-filled URL http://www.demo.onehippo.com/restapi/products/food/2011/11./documents?_type=xml. If you submit that URL, the documents from that REST url will be crawled, and indexed into Solr. You can then search for those documents (eg peppered taters) and will get search results with links pointing to the correct GoGreen website pages

To enable the suggestions the Testsuite example has added an extra SpellCheckComponent to the solrconfig.xml. It looks as follows:

 <!-- **************************** START SUGGEST *****************-->
  <!-- ONLY INCLUDE THE SUGGEST COMPONENT WHEN ACTUALLY USED
       BECAUSE IT USES QUITE SOME MEMORY -->
  <searchComponent class="solr.SpellCheckComponent" name="suggest">
    <lst name="spellchecker">
      <str name="name">suggest</str>
      <!-- the indexed field to derive suggestions from -->
      <str name="field">text</str>
      <str name="classname">org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.Suggester</str>
      <str name="lookupImpl">org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.tst.TSTLookup
      </str>
      <!-- Alternatives to lookupImpl:

      <!--float name="threshold">0.005</float-->
      <str name="buildOnCommit">true</str>
    </lst>

  </searchComponent>


  <requestHandler name="suggest"
