What we have learned so far…
Went Well Not so Well
• Transforming data into Solr • Facets are different between the platforms
• Loading data to Solr using Dynamic Fields
• Grouping and pagination
• Speed of importing data • Start from scratch on relevancy
• Relevancy strategy management
• Ease of adding additional data signals
<RECORD> <PROP NAME="recordType"> <PVAL>Product</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="productTitle"> <PVAL>Converse® One Star® Men's Short Sleeve Henley - Dog Bone L</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="listprice"> <PVAL>14.99</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="saleprice"> <PVAL>14.99</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="partNumber"> <PVAL>14930617</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="InvStatus"> <PVAL>0</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="categoryName"> <PVAL>short sleeve tees</PVAL> </PROP> <PROP NAME="categoryName"> <PVAL>shirts</PVAL> </PROP>.

Signals = Relevancy
Basic Question: How do you take basic information from activity on your website and use it to make results more relevant? Example: Hello Kitty
Solr’s default strategy finds what it “thinks” is most relevant
