Solr ( Search API solr)

debugging indexes using solar

problem:

• the search isn't picking up certain keywords in 'Find Grants Awarded' page.

Solution:

• the content is in the database, it's just not being located correctly. This is an indexing problem.

which index is 'Find Grants Awarded' using ? :

• previously it was Funded project index, now it's the multi entity index - why is funded project index being phased out ?.....ask annika & dipak

The index is populated with a long list of fields, where are they coming from?

• Solr needs to be configured to include fields for each index. The function public function alterItems(array &$items) located -> /corporate/www/sites/all/modules/custom/corp_search/includes/callback_paragraph_view.inc adds the fields within a paragraph to the index.

the values (paragraph types) that were being passed into the array within the function were field_paragraphs_content which generates x amount of fields, field_sections which generates x amount of fields however it seems as though these were linked to the whole site except the content in the 'Find Grants Awarded' page.

to try to solve the issue I had to identify (path structure > paragraph bundles) the paragraph type that was actually being used in that page and pass the machine name in as a value field_grantholder_institution

  public function alterItems(array &$items) {
    $paragraphs_fields = array('field_paragraphs_content', 'field_sections', 'field_grantholder_institution');

Questions

• why is funded project index not being used any more ?
• how can I find the call back function for that index ?
• why when i add the paragraph field to the function, I don't need to tick/ include it in the UI?
