SearchStax is excited to announce full Solr 9 support for Dedicated Deployments in all available Cloud regions.
Solr 9 is the Apache community’s ninth major release of their Lucene based search engine. If you’re wondering why you should move to this latest release, Solr 9 has several new features that might be of interest to you, including performance improvements and security updates. Most significantly, Solr 9 comes with support for Regular Expression (RegEx) queries as well as better support for more complex search queries.
