Querying with SOLR

Hello,
is there a possibility to use existing SOLR as Data Source?

I had an idea to show users SQL grid, which would show similar items found in database, based on text typed in regular TextInput field. That lead me to Levenshtein Distance algorithm, which might be slow in SQL, but i've found that such a thing is already implemented in SOLR (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1752301/how-to-configure-solr-to-use-levenshtein-approximate-string-matching).

Also, any ideas how to implement it any other way?

Hi Maksymilian,
in version 2022 in API beta we have endpoints for solr search (see attachment) - maybe this will be sufficient in your case.
If not, another way might be to create an account in solr and query it directly using basic auth - ask me if you have any questions :)

Thanks for response, unfortunatelly in that case i'm dealing with 2021 (forgot to mention earlier), but upgrade is on the way so i'll for sure give that a look :)
