Suggest "search" indexer for big Wordpress site with 400,000+ posts
Hello everyone,
Can you suggest a good search indexer for this massive site with 400K posts and growing ? It is a community site with user generated content, mostly GIFs, Jpg photos and also embedded video links.
SearchWP was previously installed... but I guess the devs removed it for performance problems. Even the official SearchWP page suggests it is not meant for very big sites.
Some options I'm thinking of :
Comments
Implement Google custom search - works like a charm.
And set permalink structure to contain: domain.com/post_ID/whatever
For better performance and faster WP database searches (when opening links on the site etc).
I've used Solr for search and it works pretty well, though for big applications Elastic (another Lucene wrapper, elastic.co) is maybe now considered better, particularly where distributed search is concerned. They are both written in Java with all the clunky infrastructure that entails.
