Comment: Replaced mentions to Islandora Solr Search with Islandora Solr, since that is the correct Module name. Issue here is that this page is named Islandora Solr Search and there are many ingoing links to it.

Overview

The Islandora Solr module provides a way to configure the Islandora search functions, the search results display, and the display of metadata on object pages.

Info

Islandora Solr and the Islandora search results search the metadata, full text, and OCR of objects in the Fedora Commons repository. In a default Islandora installation, the Islandora search does not search Drupal nodes or other Drupal-only content.
