Hi,
My local site is up and running but search did not show any products. I have craeted my own catalog and the facet, search related DB tables are still empty.
I am very new to this Solar search and did not clearly understood the concept of facet and other things. Any detailed reply or documentation will really help.
- In general, how do I add the product description, Manufacture, Price, product options, Category Name, and anything else as in the Solar Search ?

- A step by step guide for configuring and setting different fields in search service, is needed ?
- How can I make the SORTING work. Based on price, manufacture etc. How can I give a broader RANGE for price filtering, like on other e-commerce sites.

Give me details / documents/ reference for just getting started with this Solr Search, specific to Broadleaf.
A detailed response is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

- Sumit

Hi sumit784! Try setting the 'solr.index.repeat.interval' to a proper value. The default one '3600000' millis makes that SOLR updates its index every hour. As a result your products are not searchable' immediately after addition.

Maciej

Thanks for replying.

Its not about the interval of solr indexing. As soon as I add the entries in blc_Field table, the products are not searched anywhere.
I remove them and searching works.

So, this is some other issue.
