Search backend

Searching in Vidispine is implemented using either Solr or Elasticsearch (New in 4.10.) as the backend. This allows functionality such as boolean operators, faceted searching, term highlighting, search term suggestions, etc.

Solr

Solr is the default search backend. It supports all features and works with both standalone Solr and SolrCloud.

Elasticsearch

New in version 4.10.

Requirements

Limitations

The search interface is the same compared to using Solr (both syntactically and semantically), except that:

  • Collection-item join is not yet supported.
  • The noescape option in the “version 1” search document is not supported.
