  • Set the path for Tesseract
  • Select languages available for OCR from your Tesseract installation
  • Enable/disable Solr Fast Vector Highlighting
  • Set Solr field containing OCR text and the maximum number of results to return in a Solr query

Solr result highlighting

To have Islandora viewers recognize Solr search results and highlight them, one will need to configure Solr to index the HOCR (coordinate data) in a particular fashion.

The field that the HOCR is stored in must have the following attributes:   indexed="true" stored="true" termVectors="true" termPositions="true" termOffsets="true"

...

Any objects that were previously ingested but require this functionality will need to be re-indexed.
