Apache Solr for TYPO3: More than a search engine
•
1 like•1,034 views
This document discusses Apache Solr for TYPO3, a search engine solution developed by dkd. It describes how dkd helped engineering company Samson develop a product catalogue using Apache Solr and TYPO3. Samson's products are complex with many dependencies and variations, so dkd worked closely with them to model the domain and build a customizable frontend. The end result provides powerful, fast search of Samson's product data maintained in TYPO3, allowing for better user experience and sales.
