Query pipelines filter, transform, and augment Solr queries and responses in order to return all and only the most relevant search results.
Query pipeline stages are the components of a query pipeline, configured and ordered to produce the desired search results.
Query profiles provide aliases for query pipelines, enabling your application to point to the same endpoint regardless of the query pipeline behind it. A query profile can also specify the collection and/or configuration parameters for the query pipeline, if abstraction is desired for those aspects.
