Concepts
The extension is built with the following concepts in mind.
Connections
It should be possible to use different search services like elasticsearch and solr out of the box. If a service is not contained, it should be possible to implement the necessary part by implementing the necessary interfaces and configuring the extension to use the new connection.
Also it should be possible to use multiple connections at once. This way multiple search services can be used in the same installation.
Currently only Elasticsearch is provided.
Indexing
The indexing is done by one of the available indexer. For each identifier it's possible to define the indexer to use. Also it's possible to write custom indexer to use.
Currently only the TcaIndexer is provided.
DataProcessing
Before data is transfered to search service, it can be processed by
"DataProcessors" like already known by t3tsref:cobj-fluidtemplate-properties-dataprocessing
of t3tsref:cobj-fluidtemplate. The same is true for
retrieved search results. They can be processed again by
"DataProcessors" to prepare data for display in Templates or further
usage.
Configuration is done through TypoScript, see dataProcessing.
