Note This extension requires Optimizely Commerce Connect version 8.8 or higher.
Integration packages
- EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider – Integration with Optimizely Commerce Connect back-end parts using the Find (Search & Navigation) search provider.
- EPiServer.Find.Commerce – Optimizely Commerce Connect integration based on the Find (Search & Navigation) API.
You can use EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider, EPiServer.Find.Commerce, or both. The Commerce.FindSearchProvider package uses Optimizely Search & Navigation (Find) as a search provider in Commerce Manager and the ECF search APIs. The Find.Commerce package uses Optimizely Search & Navigation to search catalog items using the Find API. See Configure Optimizely Search & Navigation search provider in the Commerce Connect developer guide.
Integration components
The EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider provides the following functionality:
- Catalog items included in Unified Search results – Projections are configured for Url, ImageUri, and object getter for inheritors of EntryContentBase.
- Catalog items available when creating best bets – The Search & Navigation Best Bets UI lets you select catalog items.
- Enhanced indexing of catalog items – Indexing includes catalog languages.
- Search provider for catalog items – Catalog items can be searched using Search & Navigation in Optimizely edit view.
Install
- Add the Optimizely.Commerce.FindSearchProvider package to the Commerce Manager project using the Package Manager Console (Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console). Command: Install-package Optimizely.Commerce.FindSearchProvider
- Add the EPiServer.Find.Commerce, EPiServer.Find.Cms, and EPiServer.Find.Framework packages to the CMS project. Run the following command on the CMS project. Command: Install-package EPiServer.Find.Commerce
Important Ensure that you do not install the EPiServer.Find.Cms package on the Commerce Manager project by mistake.
- Run the Find content indexing scheduled job. EPiServer.Find.Commerce adds data to indexed documents, so indexed documents only match expected search results after reindexing content.
