Custom search in AEM 6.3

Hi,

I want to search the CRX (cq:Page and not DAM) based on some property like jcr:content/someId . How can it be acheived via the AEM search console. This functionality is to be given to non-technical people so that they can use it for searching pages with some particular someId.

Please share steps to implement such a solution and also how can it be tested.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Mayur

    Mayur,

          Get in touch with your UI team and come up with a Mock HTML. Meanwhile , work on the usecases you need , like what you want to search, how the search should work, make all the decisions (I believe you already have an idea on what to develop) and once the HTML is ready you can start developing the page as you do a normal web page development. Is there something else you are specifically looking for ?

    Thanks

    I am not sure why you are complicating it.

    Treat it as one of the configuration page. Build a search component, (should be able to leverage from OOTB)

    Put it on a template for author. Restrict the access to it and don't publish this page.

    Thanks

    Yes . The link Implementing a Custom Predicate Evaluator for the Query Builder  is helpful for that.

    I want to know if there is any other way to build a custom search as mentioned by Veena

    Thanks,

    Mayur, Serach Forms can be used for site pages as well.

    Navigate to Search forms and customize the site Admin Search Rail.

    Once Search form is updated, it can be used in sites console under Filters section. And it works for site pages as well.

      Veena provided you the correct response. You need to create a custom search PAGE that can query page information. You can use the QueryBuilder API to perform the searches.

      Hi Abhishek,

      The above applies only to Assets. The requirement is to search for pages.

      Thanks,

      Mayur

      Have you checked the doc - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/assets/usin

      It's easy to configure search facet mapped to custom property (non-technical people can also do it). However, for any query performance tuning activity for a custom property, technical people will be required to configure the indexes.

      Regards,

      Abhishek
