- New record type tx_vitec_domain_model_searchcard ("best bets"):
keyword list, priority, optional referenced record (page, product,
story, solution, market, news) and overridable title/teaser/image/link;
hidden/start/end time allow timed campaigns
- SearchCardService delivers content.search.cards on page 1: max. 3,
priority-ordered, deduplicated by URL, independent of filter, facets
and result count. Keywords match as whole words/phrases, case- and
punctuation-insensitive, including one level of the Solr managed
synonyms in both directions (cached for an hour, fail-soft). Record
cards read the record's indexed Solr document, so a card always
matches the record's own search result
- Index fallback for markets and solutions: when the record carries no
image or text, the document takes the intro image (then the hero
background) and the hero subline, intro headline and intro text from
the content blocks of its detail page - selected by CType, so it works
for layout 21 and layout 5 alike; improves results and cards
- Fix: a search request without q returned an empty body instead of the
documented empty shape (stdClass resolved inside the renderer namespace)
- migrations/check_solution_fields.php: shows live/workspace versions of
solution records
- Spec v1.22 (clause 7.16: cards)
- Index the text columns of the market/solution Content Blocks and the
vitec_items/vitec_faq_items collection children; story documents now
include their body (inline tt_content children via
tx_vitec_usecase_content, same per-element extraction as pages) -
stories were indexed with subtitle and teaser only until now
- Upgrade EXT:solr 14.0.0-RC1 -> 14.0.2 final (the Solr image moved to a
fresh volume because the configset changed; synonyms restored via REST)
- News decay with age by publication date: crdate is the import date, so
news map datetime to created; boost function gated to news only
- Results carry `image`: processed 640px tile image per type,
root-relative, null for pages and downloads
- Spec v1.21: 7.16 states the /_json prefix and lists `solution` in the
type vocabulary; footer had been stuck at v1.19
- suggest-demo.html fetches through /_json after the URL swap
Solr 10 dropped the ExtractingRequestHandler, so a dedicated Tika
container on the Solr VPS (Caddy route /tika/*, own basic-auth
credential; Tika itself has no auth) extracts file text during
indexing: TikaDownloadContentIndexer listens on
BeforeDocumentIsProcessedForIndexingEvent, resolves the file through
the existing DownloadFileResolver and appends the text (mime
whitelist, 30 MB cap, 100k chars, fail-soft) to the document's content
field. Extractions are cached in var/tika-cache keyed on
path+size+mtime - a full re-index of 177 downloads drops from 2:12 min
to 27 s, replacing a file re-extracts naturally. Datasheet
specifications ("625i", "genlock") are now searchable. Spec v1.15.
The search JSON gains tab support: the new `filter` GET parameter
restricts results to one document type (product, news, download, story,
page, market); the response carries `filter` (active value or null) and
`facets.type` with per-type counts and active flags. Counts stay
complete while a filter is active (keepAllFacetsOnSelection), so tabs
never collapse - except on an empty filtered result, documented in spec
v1.12 clause 7.16.
The parameter is named `filter` because `type` is TYPO3's reserved
page-type parameter and crashes page resolution; like q and page it is
excluded from cHash validation. Facets come from EXT:solr's native
faceting, serialized generically by SearchJsonRenderer - a future
category facet only needs TypoScript.

Apache Solr 10 runs on a dedicated VPS behind a Caddy HTTPS proxy
(vitecsolr.evomedien.de) because the managed webserver only allows
outgoing standard ports. Credentials stay out of git: the site config
carries %env()% placeholders resolved via putenv() in the git-ignored
config/system/additional.php.
- composer: apache-solr-for-typo3/solr 14.0.0-RC1 (the only line
compatible with TYPO3 14; final 14.0.0 will arrive via composer update)
- config.yaml: read connection https/443, core_en per language,
env placeholder credentials; .gitignore covers additional.php
- setup.typoscript: config.index_enable = 1 (page indexing silently
refuses without it), solr_pi_results JSON renderer registration,
results highlighting, and content field extraction from tt_content
rows - the headless JSON output has no TYPO3SEARCH markers, so the
default page content extraction indexed an empty content field
- SearchJsonRenderer (renderer #27): JSON output for the search plugin
on /search. GET q/page in; { query, page, resultsPerPage, numFound,
totalPages, results[], suggestions } out. Disables the page cache per
request: config.no_cache is gone in TYPO3 v14, and q/page are
excluded from cHash, so cached variants would collide
- ext_localconf.php: q and page added to cacheHash excludedParameters
- SolrIndexCommand (vitec:solr-index): works the index queue from the
CLI with connection diagnostics and a --debug single-step mode -
EXT:solr 14 ships no console commands and the backend button indexes
one item per click
