Hi,

I have tried, but I am not very happy..
In comparison with a lucene based search:
    - better search results quality
    - main disadvantage - no "real time" updates for a set of data to be
searched into


Best regards,

Hi Flopa,

so lucene is the search that is implemented in OfBiz standard? Or did you integrate that?
Does lucene support suggested search like factfinder?

Thanks
Alexander

Hello Alexander,

Lucene does not come as default search engine - at least as far as I know.
But we integrated it and it works really fine. Spending a bit of time
you can combine different lucene functionalities like Wildcardsearch or
Fuzzy Search and provide a solution very close to the performances of
fact-finder.
Additionally, you have full control to the way and the frequency you can
update the lucene index.. it might be important those updates are done
very often

 Flopa

Is there a plan to use product search using lucene in Ofbiz? Currently it uses database and keyword search. Implementing features like faceted product search based on price range etc is not available and current navigation is not very user friendly.

Hi Alexander,

One good sample should be this one:

www.besamex.de

Very soon more will be available.

There is also auto-complete in there.
Please note that entire "feeding" of data into Lucene index is done by a
separate process which runs into another JVM.. (another tomcat)

Best regards,
 Flopa
