OMN-Search application plugin

A new application plugin OMN-Search has been introduced in the backend in Application Modules → OMN-Search and contains general search configuration. A user can globally configure and enable OMN-Search in the backend to have the necessary Search-Index. The following settings are present here:

  1. "API URL" defines OMN-Search API (prefilled with https://elastic-onlinemedianet.de/api/v1/Search). If changed the informative message asking to use "Check link validity" button appears. It allows to get the information whether the provided link is valid. Depending on the result the message is shown close to the button: "Provided link is valid"/ "Provided link is invalid". There is no possibility to continue the configuration without such a check.

  2. "Index" information:

    1. "Last manual Index Rebuild" shows the date when the last rebuild was initiated by a user either in the current configuration in the backend or on the OMN-Search page in the frontend.

    2. "Index overall state" shows cumulative information whether all existing indexes are up-to-date

    3. "Selection of indexes to be updated" indicates the state of each specific index (Object/Assets, PIM2Products, Project/Channels) and allows to select the ones to update if some of them are outdated. Possible state values:

      1. Up-to-date

      2. Outdated

      3. Create index

      4. Rebuild in progress

      5. Error

    4. By clicking on "Create/Rebuild Index" option the rebuild process is started. It is not possible to cancel rebuild. After completion the index state is updated.

  3. "Default OMN-Search page plug-in (in Sidebar)" defines one default OMN-Search configuration be used as sidebar item

    The option was used to enable the specific configuration of OMN-Search page plugin in the sidebar until it became configurable in a general way . Seems that the option is not relevant for HTML5 client anymore with the new configurable Sidebar.

  4. If "Show case sensitive results" is activated the search results consider/depend on the case of a search query, otherwise case-insensitive results are shown.

    when the state of 'Show case sensitive results' checkbox is changed in the backend users are informed that indexes have to be rebuilt (the changes won’t be saved until the indexes' rebuild is executed ("Rebuild All Indexes" option appears).
