Implement smart search on custom module tables search in kentico 9

Prashant Verma asked on June 15, 2016 09:14

Hi, Anyone can share your opinion regarding smart search. We have created different custom modules and we have different table for each module. Now need to implement the smart search in a page to fetch the details from that particular table from the custom module table.

Thanks

Hello,

Smart search is working good for the custom objects. I have created few search indexes for custom classes. You can create custom index type or the general one for this objects. I use the second one, it's enough for me and works fine.

I'd definitely recommend using a Smart Search index with the Index Type of "General". This will allow you to use standard out of the box functionality with no custom code on your module's classes.

Hi Branden, I was going to use general index type through my custom module but the problem is I cannot find my object in indexed content tab in smart search application.
