Can anyone tell me what search engine? Umbraco V8 uses and if there are articles, links so i can learn a little more about it
Primarily, we need to be able to search synonyms as the area in which we work has a lot of technical words and phases which have the same meaning on different words
These might be medical terms, so one term might mean the same as another and we would need a DB of these matching terms
Another feature requested is a search filter on the page after a search has been performed. Maybe on the left-hand side or as a top bar. Is this possible?
This question has been asked on a higher level i.e. we have an external provider who is going to upgrade and rebuild our site
The search function and filter that I think is required will be created by them
What I would need to know as part of the groundwork, is what would we need to do to build custom indexes or even use the built in ones for specific content
I know we can set examine to index, page names, tags, nodes, fields etc but we dont know what we should collect to help the developers with this task
I would assume we would need some form of backend field that we could use for name-value pairs???
Can create a text file for any synonyms that we might want paired? And then how do the devs use this data? Can the search work on text files or would each resource need to have them added individually to the back-end?
Its a search question

Underneath it's Lucene, with a layer on top called Examine:

Thanks everyone
