Drupal Search Configuration Update
SearchStax Site Search updated the default search configuration used to create new Drupal Search Apps. This change helps new Drupal Search Apps handle punctuation and word boundaries more accurately, especially in content that includes URLs, email addresses, or other punctuation-heavy text.
No action is required. This update applies to the default configuration used when creating new Drupal Search Apps.
Impact
This update applies when creating new Search Apps that use Drupal 10 or Drupal 11 search configurations with Solr 8 or Solr 9.
For new Search Apps that use these configurations, some search terms may match indexed content more accurately when punctuation is part of the searched or indexed text. Most users won't notice a visible change, but search teams may see better handling for certain types of structured or punctuation-heavy content.
Technical Details
For Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 configurations, the relevant field types now use solr.StandardTokenizerFactory instead of solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory where applicable.
This update aligns SearchStax Site Search Drupal search configurations with the upstream Drupal Search API Solr change that replaced WhitespaceTokenizerFactory with StandardTokenizerFactory.
