Solr Search Implementation in Sitecore JSS Project with Code (First Blog)

Hello Friends,

I will be covering Solr Search Implementation in Sitecore JSS project from Architecture to Code.

Lets Say we need to search a text in questions of FAQ section based on question template and return all items that contains that text.

Basic Overview as follows :

we will be giving one API to the frontend for Solr search and they will be appending the API with query string parameters.

ex. https://example.com/api/sitecore/<controllerName>/<actionMethod>

and they will append it with query string parameter and this will give call to our controller.

ex. https://example.com/api/sitecore/<controllerName>/<actionMethod>?q=ProgrammingGuide

this request will hit our controller with "ProgrammingGuide" as parameter.

Controller -----> this will accept the first request and give call to Repo

Repo -----> this will contain method based on search result model and will give call to the Search Result Service.

SearchResultService -------> this will contain actual method to get document from solr and also method to build queries.

ex.

Controller ---> Repo ----> SearchResultService.

And In controller we serialize data using NewtonSoft and sent it to frontend.
