Advanced development with eZ Find - part 2

Here is the second part of a series of tutorials about eZ Find. At the end of this series, you will have been exposed all details on how it works, and be able to make an advanced usage, in various context, of this enterprise-grade search plug-in. This series will serve as a base for a talk on the subject at the eZ Conference 2010, in Berlin. As well as the Libre Software meeting.

Introduction

The first part of this tutorial described the low-level mechanisms of eZ Find, and the way eZ Publish attributes ( names, types ) and Solr fields are mapped. This post describes how eZ Find can dramatically ease development of some functionalities ( avoiding complex template operators and heavy SQL queries ) by automatically indexing additional fields in Solr when an object is published, which can in turn be leveraged for facetting or advanced filtering.
