I am trying to get a custom solr index to work in sitecore 10.2 running in containers.

Config

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" 
    xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/" 
     xmlns:search="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/search/">
        <sitecore role:require="Standalone or ContentDelivery or 
         ContentManagement" search:require="solr">
        <contentSearch>
            <configuration 
 type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchConfiguration, 
 Sitecore.ContentSearch">
                <indexes hint="list:AddIndex">
                    <index id="sitecore_passportal_web_index" 
type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SolrSearchIndex, 
Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider">
                        <param desc="name">$(id)</param>
                        <param desc="core">$(id)</param>
                        <param desc="propertyStore" 
ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/databasePropertyStore" 
param1="$(id)" />
                    <configuration ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/passPortalSolrIndexConfiguration" />
                    <strategies hint="list:AddStrategy">
                        <strategy ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/indexUpdateStrategies/manual" role:require="(ContentManagement and !Indexing) or (ContentDelivery and !Indexing)"/>
                        <strategy ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/indexUpdateStrategies/onPublishEndAsyncSingleInstance" role:require="Standalone or (ContentManagement and Indexing) or (ContentDelivery and Indexing)" />
                    </strategies>
                    <locations hint="list:AddCrawler">
                        <crawler type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SitecoreItemCrawler, Sitecore.ContentSearch">
                            <Database>web</Database>
                            <Root>/sitecore</Root>
                        </crawler>
                    </locations>
                     
<enableItemLanguageFallback>false</enableItemLanguageFallback>
                     
<enableFieldLanguageFallback>false</enableFieldLanguageFallback>
                    </index>
                </indexes>
            </configuration>
        </contentSearch>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

I am able to index and see items in solr.

running this code I do not get any results

            using (var searchContext = _passPortalSearchContextProvider.CreateContext())
            {

                IQueryable<BenefitSearchResultItem> results =
                    searchContext.GetQueryable<BenefitSearchResultItem>()
                        //.Where(x => x.Path.StartsWith(siteRootPath))
                        .Where(x => x.TemplateId == Benefit.TEMPLATE_ID)
                        //.Where(x => x.RenewalCodes.Contains(renewalCode))
                        ;

                return results;
            }

So I tried changing the config to using a switch on rebuild solr index

                <index id="sitecore_passportal_web_index" type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.SwitchOnRebuildSolrSearchIndex, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider">
                    <param desc="name">$(id)</param>
                    <param desc="core">$(id)</param>
                    <param desc="rebuildcore">$(id)_rebuild</param>

I get the following error when trying to rebuild the index in the sitecore control panel

    Does this answer your question? Creating a custom Solr core using solr-init container in docker Aug 4 at 15:12
  • The custom core is created. The gap is in that he is unable to query what is in Solr. Its 10.2 so wondering if something changed in how Solr queries should be written.

  • Please add _passPortalSearchContextProvider to your question? Or confirm it is calling ContentSearchProvider.getindex("your-index-name"). Also when you run the code shown above, there should be a corresponding log entry generated in search logs. Do you see this? If so, try navigating to SOLR dashboard => query and pasting in the query (after the ?q=) in the url. Alter to find correct query. Finally, the switch on rebuild error you are seeing is because you have not created the rebuild core. To do this, copy the original core, delete data, then rename the core in core.properties file.

  • Ken - When you switched to index on rebuild, did you create an alternate index for the rebuild? So, in total, you should have 2 indexes - 1 for the main and 1 for rebuild. From your exception, it looks like you haven't created the index for rebuild. Please create a rebuild index and try to index it from Sitecore. Aug 7 at 14:53
  • Got it to work. Wound up being how I created the new solr indexes. The instructions provided by @MichaelWest worked
