eZ Platform Search extension

eZ Platform Search is an eZ Publish legacy extension that integrates eZ Platform search
capabilities into eZ Publish legacy.

This extension is useful when you wish to run eZ Platform with legacy administration installed
and you don't want to maintain two search indexes, one for eZ Platform and one for legacy.

This extension is aiming to support only legacy search with SearchViewHandling configuration
value set to default, thus it will not work if you directly used eZ Find (either in PHP or
templates).

After activating the extension, default legacy search features should continue to work as before
including:

• Search in legacy administration interface
• Search in ezobjectrelationlist attribute
• Search in ezxmltext embed object dialog
• Reindexing when content is added/updated/deleted in legacy administration

Activate the extension by using the admin interface ( Setup -> Extensions ) or by

Or go to Setup -> Extensions in admin interface and click the "Regenerate autoload arrays" button

Setup cronjobs

This extension ships with a cronjob to index subtrees of content that have had their visibility updated. The cron needs to be executed using the ezpublish:legacy:script runner.

In addition to that you should make sure eZ Publish legacy's cronjobs/indexcontent.php is executed as well. This is part of the "main set" of cronjobs executed as:

For further information on setting up cronjobs, see eZ Publish legacy documentation.

Searching for content instead of locations

By default, the plugin will search for locations.

If you want to use content search, switch the [SearchSettings]/UseLocationSearch config in ezplatformsearch.ini to false.
