Faceted Search
Faceted search is the dynamic clustering of items or search results into categories that let users drill into search results by any value in any field.
Faceted search has become a critical feature for enhancing findability and the user search experience for all types of search applications.
Why Magento + Solr?
• One of the keys to Solr success is the ability to index and easily integrate faceted search.
• Magento utilizes faceted filtering for its products through a robust set of customizable attributes.
• Solr utilizes Magento’s customizable product attributes to determine search results. This type of faceting will bring in more relevant results to the customer’s search.
• It’s easy to setup and use, (if you know what you’re doing)
Benefits of Solr + Magento
Increased Performance
Solr indexes Magento’s facets automatically for filtering and can therefore pull more relevant results faster than the out of the box MySQL.
Benefits of Solr + Magento
Increased Search Relevancy
Faceted indexes allow a customer to discover your products by more than just a product title or description. Magento’s facets can also be weighted to bring back more relevant results to the user based upon a search query.

Benefits of Solr + Magento
Support for Spelling/Synonyms/Stop Words
Solr allows for “fuzzy” searching with indexing and configuration files that let a site owner configure certain synonyms for common products or attributes. It also allows for returning results based upon misspellings or “close” results. It can remove common “stop words” from diluting your search results.

Benefits of Solr + Magento
Improved Layered Navigation
Since Solr indexes Magento facets for searching, it can also bring them up and display them as facet filtering menus faster than Magento’s MySQL methods.
