The Search Experiences application is now available for DXP 7.3*; use its Search Blueprints feature to customize the search query and personalize your digital experiences just like you can on DXP 7.4**
Boost, hide, or filter results by various factors like proximity, categories, tags, user segment, and much more.
How can Search Blueprints help your organization?
Search Blueprints is the first feature of the Search Experiences toolset. Some of the capabilities you'll gain:
- Blueprints extends Liferay DXP's low-code/no-code capabilities by providing useful query elements out-of-the-box, allowing business users to compose customized searches without having to write a single line of code or wait for developers to build solutions for them.
- Users who already know how to build Elasticsearch queries can leverage the Paste Any Elasticsearch Query element. Just paste any Elasticsearch query body into the element as-is and specify the occur clause. That's it.
- If your use-case requires something that is not covered by the default elements, you can create Custom Elements to personalize your search.
These items are all accomplished with the Search Blueprints visual query builder. In addition, you can customize other aspects of the search request with Blueprints Configurations and the Query Settings.
Need to build different search pages for different purposes?
We’ve got you covered! Use the Blueprints Options widget to configure a blueprint for your page.
