**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](docId\:TA8jnMaDwaH0q97AsH6BD) 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

1. 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`
2. 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.
:::

3. 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.
