+Solr in Action is an essential resource for implementing fast and scalable search using Apache Solr. It uses well-documented examples ranging from basic keyword searching to scaling a system for billions of documents and queries. With this book, you’ll gain a deep understanding of how to implement core Solr capabilities such as faceted navigation through search results, matched snippet highlighting, field collapsing and search results grouping, spell-checking, query autocomplete, querying by functions, and more. You’ll also see how to take Solr to the next level, with deep coverage of large-scale production use cases, sophisticated multilingual search, complex query operations, and advanced relevancy tuning strategies.
+
+Solr in Action is intentionally designed to be a learning guide as opposed to a reference manual. It builds from an initial introduction to Solr all the way to advanced topics such as implementing a predictive search experience, writing your own Solr plugins for function queries and multilingual text analysis, using Solr for big data analytics, and even building your own Solr-based recommendation engine.
+
+The book uses fun real-world examples, including analyzing the text of tweets, searching and faceting on restaurants, grouping similar items in an ecommerce application, highlighting interesting keywords in UFO sighting reports, and even building a personalized job search experience. Executable code for all examples is included with the book, and several chapters are available for free at the <a href="http://solrinaction.com">publisher's website</a>.
