Become a sponsor to Dimofte Ciprian

Hi, I'm Cip. I work for Opensolr, where I spend my days on Apache Solr: hosting it, tuning it, and building the tools around it that make search actually work.

A good part of that work ends up open source, free to use, with no account required for the tools that don't need one.

What I maintain

loghound
Solr based traffic analytics and bot forensics for Apache, nginx and Caddy logs. Find the crawlers, scrapers and abusers hiding in your access logs.

AI and RAG integrations for Solr
Hybrid BM25 plus kNN search, server side embeddings and grounded answers, wired into the frameworks people already use:

• langchain-opensolr
• llama-index-opensolr
• opensolr-haystack
• opensolr-mcp, search and RAG as tools for AI agents
• opensolr-chat-bot-client, a chat bot for your website that answers from your own index, with links to your pages, products and the exact PDF pages

Android apps

• opensolr-photos, find any photo on your phone by what is in it
• opensolr-mail, a Fastmail client with one unified inbox, push, notes, calendars and all your mail searchable

Laravel

• laravel-scout-opensolr, a Scout driver for hybrid search
• laravel-opensolr-search, a full sample app with Vue 3 and AI answers

CMS modules
The Opensolr Search module for Drupal and the Opensolr Search plugin for WordPress.

Why sponsor

Every sponsorship buys time for the unglamorous parts: security fixes, keeping up with new framework and Android releases, documentation, answering issues, and testing against real Solr versions instead of shipping and hoping.

If one of these projects saved you a week of work, a sponsorship is a great way to say thanks and keep it maintained.

Thank you!
