I have the privilege to speak at SUGCON 2015.  My talk on Optimizing with Solr includes a lot of technical information and I felt it would be helpful to the community if I wrote a blog series touching on each of the different points I’ll be making during my presentation.

The purpose of this talk and the blog series is to give you a good overview of what Solr is, how to use it, and to give solid real-world examples of how we use it.

• Prezi
• Learn how to use the Solr Web Admin
• Solr Sitecore Config – What does this all mean?
• Let’s Build a simple country index
• Let’s get complicated with our index
• Spatial Indexing
• Fuzzy Search
• Boost your search results
  • Field level boosting
  • Document level boosting

Please enjoy the series, if you have any questions feel free to reach out by commenting, twitter (@tbraga01) or via email (tbraga@collette.com).  Happy to help.
