Faceted search with Umbraco
Hello,

For a new platform we need to implement faceted search with Umbraco.

I've already done a project where we used Bobo. It's based on this superb 24 days post: http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/search-with-bobo/

Bobo worked pretty well, but the type ahead / autocomplete wasn't perfect.

I'm now looking at alternatives. So far I've found the following:

Xuntos Faceted Search (XFS)
- https://www.xfssearch.com/about/
Solr
Solis Search
- https://www.solissearch.com/
What's most important
- Enable an auto suggest. If you type "management" you'll get "timemanagement" and "managementteam" as suggestions. It should also work with multiple words.
- Add custom facets and filter on those.
Does anyone have any experience with the above options or maybe another good suggestion?

Also consider Elastic. It calls facets "aggregates" but supports some fairly detailed logic around them. Elastic is pretty simple to get up and running and the documentation is good. There are several c# libraries you can use with it, I've used NEST: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NEST/5.0.0-beta1

Another option would be to store content in RavenDB and uses facets on that: https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/3.5/csharp/client-api/commands/querying/how-to-work-with-facet-query

Got some more suggestions on Twitter. It's easier to just read the conversation ;-).

Azure Search seems like a good option.
