Solr / Velocity url rewrite

2012-11-06 Thread Sébastien Dartigues
Hi all,

Today i'm using solritas as front-end for the solr search engine.

But i would like to do url rewriting to deliver urls more compliant with
SEO.

First the end user types that kind of url : http://host.com/query/myquery

So this url should be rewriten internally (kind of reverse proxy) in
http://localhost:8983/query?q=myquery.

This internal url should not be displayed to the end user and in return
when the result page is displayed all the links in the page should be
rewritten with a SEO compliant url.

I tried to perform some tests with an apache front end by using mod_proxy
but i didn't succeed to pass url parameters.
Does someone ever tried to do SEO with solr search engine (solritas front)?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Erick,

Thanks for your help.
OK except the php client delivered as a sample, do you have a preference
for an out of the box front end easly deployable?
My main use case is to be compliant with SEO, or at least to give nice
(url) entry point.

Thanks.

 Velocity/Solaritas was never intended to be a user-facing app. How are you
 locking things down so a user can't enter, or instance,
 q=deletequery*:*/query/deletecommit=true?

 I'd really recommend a proper middleware layer unless you have a trusted
 user base...

 FWIW,
 Erick
