Lucene ON OJS 3.3

[ayssi]

Describe the issue or problem
We have two instances of OJS on two different servers. These two instances of OJS host several journals.
Question: We want to index the content of these two OJS instances on a single Solr indexing server using the OJS Lucene plugin. The goal is to be able to search the content of both instances at the same time..
Any suggestions?

Thank you.

What application are you using?

OJS-3.3.0-16

Additional information
Indexing under Lucene is already functional for each instance.

Hi @ayssi,

Perhaps not quite the same, but similar use case about this was being explored here:

OJS searching - convert to use alternate documents?

Hi @guthrie, By “remote galley”, I mean a galley for which you specify a URL to where it’s hosted externally, as opposed to uploading it to OJS. When using remote galleys, OJS never downloads the PDF (or whatever format is hosted at the URL). Regardless of whether you use Lucene or OJS’s built in search, OJS never fetches (or indexes) the file. I make reference to Lucene because there will be tools from that ecosystem to ingest and index PDFs, and it might be possible to feed your external co…

Hi @ayssi,

OJS’s Lucene implementation expects the returned search results to also be present in the OJS database, so it’ll be difficult to get OJS to format and present results that don’t exist in its MySQL database. If you want to provide aggregated searching across two OJS instances, it might be better to find an OAI-PMH harvester that can ingest content from both.
