In this guide we talk through quickly matching the Solr configuration used by platform.sh and DDEV.

Boosting terms in Solr search results produced by the Apache Solr Search module that integrates Solr with Drupal is something we had to do for a project recently. If a user has come to our website from a search engine, we can pick up the terms that they had originally searched for - and then boost any documents containing those terms in our own search pages, regardless of what they search for on our pages. (So for example, a user searches Google for 'Ski Holidays', comes to our site, and anything ski-related items should be more prominent than they would...

// Print the $document using the devel dpm function.
dpm($document);

dpm(array_combine($document->getFieldNames(), $document->getFieldValues()));

And you'll get a nice array...
