insight on ofbiz's Search Engine

[oceatoon]

Hi ofbizians

I've started digging into the ofbiz search engine which it looks cleanly but
also quite evolved,
before doing my in depth digging maybe someone who has experience with it
could  outline the underlying concept behing it ?
I googled the subject but without luck.

Thanks for sharing thoughts
Regards

What do you mean by "the ofbiz search engine"?

sorry, the ProductSearch.java ,
that is used on the front end of Ecommerce (/keywordSearch in the
controller), and in the back office.
We have some specific client requests so I have to fully understand it.
It looks very complete...
also don't hesistate to give any evolution that might be interesting or
needed, while I'm at it.

Thx
Tibor

Tibor,

It sounds like the place you want to look is the ProductSearch.java  
and related files (like ProductSearchSession.java).

It basically uses the various constraint and sorting classes within  
the ProductSearch.java file to generate a DynamicViewEntity to build  
a SQL queries on the fly with somewhat large join statements and such.

Thanks David

 I was thinking maybe a more in depth description of : "on the fly with
somewhat large join statements and such." would be interesting.
