Fulltext Search (FTS) Compatibility #
To minimise the impact of migrating, there is an FTS compatibility module available. This module will remove the need to completely update all your indexes. A few small changes to your Search Controller and Results templates are all that may be required.
The primary difference between FTS and this module is the way it’s configured, and so the compatibility module contains some stubs to bridge the two.
Init to YML #
To translate the init() method to a YML, the module provides a helper function. This requires the PHP module php_yaml to be installed.
The easiest way to get the YML is to do the following in your PageController::init()
$index = new MyIndexClass();
$index->initToYml();

Note #
When upgrading your Solr instance from Solr4 to Solr5+, a full reindex will be needed regardless.
