We are using Magento Enterprise 1.10 and SOLR as our catalog search engine.
We are facing one major issue in our live website is that whenever we start increasing number of search filterable attributes in our system, after certain limit catalog search breaks. It gives no search result.
I tried to look at the Magento exception logs it says:-
2014-12-16T21:07:53+00:00 ERR (3): exception 'Exception' with message '"400" Status: Bad Request' in /var/www/site/lib/Apache/Solr/Service.php:334 I tried to log the URL request made by Magento to SOLR during catalog search & it basically makes 3 request to SOLR and in the third request it has huge number of parameters in facet.field request URL.
I tried to copy the third request URL and hit it in browser but it does not gives any JSON response, it gives error HTTP Status code 400 Bad Request.
What could be the possible issue ?
Is there any limitation on no. of facet.field request made by Magento to SOLR
Is there some configuration changes is required on Magento or SOLR side to fix this issue ?
