Upgrading

Search 2.0.x will require a full re-index upon deployment when upgrading from Search 1.x.
This is necessary to accommodate the removal of the index store and improved storage of date fields.

If you were using Search 2.0.x, no changes are required on you SOLR indexes.

Improvements

• Updated default configuration to improve indexing performance, query performance and resource usage compared with versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 (SEARCH-2887)
• Improved query performance compared with versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 (SEARCH-2548)
• Updated documentation for considerations prior to a re-index or upgrade to Search Services 2.0 (SEARCH-2887)
• Updated documentation for exact term search (SEARCH-2904)
• Additional option for Search Services to authenticate with a shared secret header (SEARCH-2802)

Bugs Fixed

• SEARCH-2548: Query performance degradation
• SEARCH-2986: Search with mTLS enabled does not work with ACS 7.x
• SEARCH-2985: Starting Search Services without creating cores (alfresco, archive) is not working
• SEARCH-2995: Remove backup location in alfresco search service admin screen and SOLR REST API
  
  • Note that from Search Services 2.0.2 SOLR REST API for backup is not working anymore. It's required to configure the "solr.backup.dir" property in "solrcore.properties" file for SOLR Core. More details available in https://github.com/Alfresco/InsightEngine/pull/1188/files
