Search extensions

This topic provides an overview of supported search extension types.

Given the complexity of digital commerce, it is common to extend the Elasticsearch** **document types within Configured Commerce. The product types are the only supported extension types. Some examples of search extension include:

  • Add a new field to do custom sorting on category pages based on data in the ProductTopSellers table
  • Add custom SQL to the indexer to get this data into Elasticsearch
  • Sort on the custom data in the RunProductSearch pipeline
  • Filtering search results by the current warehouse
  • Add custom warehouse data to the index
  • Filter on the warehouse data in the FormProductFilter pipeline

You can also choose to go beyond the default document data and business logic by extending:

  • Synonyms
  • The Field Boosting table also defines which fields are searched
  • Product and Category Custom Properties can be automatically indexed
    • Go to Search > Field Boosting
    • Check “Show Non-Queryable Fields”
    • Find your property and set Queryable to Yes
    • Re-index
  • Custom search pipelines (C# Coding)Uses NEST .NET client to talk to Elasticsearch API
