The SearchStax product team is continually striving to bring new features and functionality into our Managed Solr product to ensure we are delivering the best possible solution for our customers.
Editor’s Note: Managed Solr is now SearchStax Cloud. It is the same great product that lets developers set up and deploy Solr infrastructure in minutes.
We are announcing the following features in our Spring 2021 Managed Solr product release:
We use internal code names when we are developing products and each of our product releases is named after a National Park. This release was referred to as Yosemite for our development team so we are showcasing Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park from the John Muir Trail as the featured image for this post.

Learn more about Two-Factor Authentication and how to set it up with your SearchStax applications in our 2FA blog post.
SearchStax now offers the ability for users to set up Single Sign-On (SSO) using the Microsoft Azure Active Directory. We are using the open standard Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to pass authorization credentials to service providers. SSO provides a frictionless user experience, enforces risk-based access policies and automates provisioning workflows and self-service tools to help companies reduce IT costs.
Once SSO is enabled for your account and a domain is set up, the admin is able to see the configuration options in the User Preferences screen of the Managed Solr Dashboard.
The SearchStax SSO is an add-on feature that needs to be purchased and implemented separately. Learn more about SSO in the Managed Solr documentation.
The Plugin now supports the following Sitecore versions:
Download the latest version of the Plugin from the SearchStax GitHub page and check with the Managed Solr documentation for the latest installation instructions.
Refer to our Managed Solr documentation for a complete list of all supported versions of Solr. We will continue to certify the latest versions of Solr as they become available and as requested by our customers.
To further support customers around the world, we added the ability to start Azure deployments in following regions:
SearchStax now supports more than 50 regions across the AWS, Azure and Google cloud platforms. Refer to the Managed Solr documentation for a complete list of supported regions for each cloud provider.
The SearchStax Managed Solr Product Release is a quarterly communication highlighting the improvements and new features added to ensure you have the best solution to meet your Solr infrastructure needs.
