Indexing Specific Table

    My question is similar to this one (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/indexing-custom-tables-2/) but without custom post types. The table I want to index and search is a categorized list of foods and their nutritional information. Currently the search is done via a straight SELECT query with a WHERE LIKE clause. I’d like to have Apache SOLR index this query but would prefer to have it all configured via WPSOLR. Does WPSOLR support this type of indexing and searching?

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/indexing-custom-tables-2/ is about a standard custom post type, with a non-standard custom field.

    Your question is rather about non-standard custom post types:

    currently, WPSOLR can only fetch standard custom post types. The code has been refactored some time ago to prepare extensions to custom tables, but is not ready yet.

    There is no deadline for that yet.

    So it sounds like what you’re saying is that we ought to be converting over to this data being represented in a custom post type rather than a custom table. That way, the WPSOLR plugin will be better able to manage indexing the food and nutritional data content. Is that correct?

    It is a workaround, yes.

    Is there a way we can arrange to pay you to help us make our site work with your plugin as less of a workaround and more of a standard custom post type that WPSOLR supports? We’d like to take advantage of Solr and your plugin, but currently can’t with the way our site was constructed in years past.
