Currently there is no support for the indexing of Joom!fish-based translations of a single item but this will be supported in future releases.

Q: I've installed JSolr but I cannot see any results. Why not?

A: There are a number of reasons why JSolr is not returning any results. The best way to check for issues with JSolr is to check the Joomla! logs which are stored in /path/to/joomla/logs/error.php.

Q: I don't have the time or technical resources to set up a Solr server. Is this something you can provide?

A: We are introducing a Solr index and search service in the coming days. If this is something you or your organization would like more information about, please register your interest. We will keep you up-to-date of developments and release dates.

Q: Search results are rendering images and other HTML as part of each result. Why is this happening?

A: Some templates and plugins provide users with the ability to embed complex HTML and Javascript code into Joomla! articles using place holders. When indexing, JSolr will only remove HTML during the indexing process and so a lot of these embedded elements get left behind.

We hope to address these issues in future versions.
