SearchAPI is a very powerful basis for advanced and fast searching of content.

Besides standard search and facets, with the help of a series of additional modules searchAPI can become a very high performing visual analysis tool for big datasets.

Using Maps, Graphs, Wordclouds and other visualisations combined with the power of facetted data gives site owners a whole new range of possibilities to understand their Drupal data. Wether that be their users (for marketing purposes), their content, or externally loaded data, Drupal and searchAPI provide an exciting foundation for data analytics.

This session will guide you through a series of more obscure but very powerful visualisation tools that you can use to make Drupal a big data platform.
