Making public information easier to find
The White House website is a major public information resource, providing access to official announcements, communications, and policy information.
Website scale: Third-party traffic estimates have placed the website at around 7.4 million visits per month.
Powered by Apache Solr
The website used WPSOLR with Apache Solr to provide key search capabilities:
- Search: Find relevant content across the website.
- Faceting: Narrow results by date and topic.
- Sorting: Organize search results to make information easier to browse.
These features help visitors explore public information and focus on content relevant to their interests.
Implementation by an independent consultant
The WPSOLR license was purchased, and the integration was completed by an independent consultant—not by the WPSOLR team.
This use case demonstrates how WPSOLR can connect a WordPress website to Apache Solr to support advanced search, faceting, and sorting.
Key takeaway: WPSOLR and Apache Solr help visitors navigate a large public-facing information website through search and filters for date and topic.
