02/07/2023, 10:23 PMWe run opensearch as a service using the rest api’s. Started with solr, went to elasticsearch and now on opensearch. Using the versions that ship with cf tie you to old versions and limits your architectural choices.

Is it files, is it data on your database, is it files on your file system, computers on your network, Dilbert comics on the web, porn? Let's start with what problem you are trying to solve, or what task you are trying to accomplish.

02/10/2023, 2:33 PMI know it was an very vague question. We are planning of providing a google like search in our app (using CF) in course catalogs, topics and several other areas, then provide a way to jump to the content.
Currently the data is stored in many different SQL server tables.
In a different app they provide a similar search, which is currently in AWS OpenSearch/ElasticSearch.
Our CF servers and SQL servers however are on-premise.
Any reason I should not use the built-in Solr capability in CF on our existing CF servers?

02/21/2023, 7:11 PMSo looking at Solr that comes with Coldfusion 2021, I installed the package.
What should I see at the O/S (linux)?
I don't see multicore\template directory - should I right after installing the package.

02/21/2023, 10:26 PMThese are the only solr files installed when using the package manager to install the search package.
There is no ./cfsolr, multicore directory, etc
