Default search configuration

By default, Magnolia’s search functionality is provided by the Jackrabbit repository which uses the default Lucene algorithm to calculate the score for ranking results. For more advanced search options and especially if you need to manage high volumes of assets, you can set up Magnolia to use Apache Solr search.

Jackrabbit enables you to control which properties of a node are indexed and how much they will affect the jcr:score value which represents the full-search score of the node serving as a measure of that node’s relevance to the full-text search expression result. Once those properties are defined in the index configuration file, Lucene calculates how to index the content of a workspace.
