Deactivating Liferay Enterprise Search

Starting with Liferay DXP 7.4 and in all quarterly releases, the Liferay Enterprise Search (LES) features are included out-of-the-box. You can begin using LES right away, then purchase an LES Add-On Subscription to receive support. Start by contacting a Liferay sales representative or visit https://www.liferay.com/contact-sales.

LES is enabled by default and requires no additional installation steps. However, a LES add-on subscription must be purchased to receive official Liferay Support and additional benefits. Maintenance and updates to LES features are delivered through Fix Pack and Service Pack releases. If you do not have a subscription to LES, access can be disabled completely by following these steps described below.

Local Bundle: Deactivating LES

LES features are available out-of-the-box in all Liferay DXP 7.4+ and quarterly release bundles. If you don’t have a subscription for support and would like to deactivate the features, you can set the enterprise.product.enterprise.search.enabled portal property to false:

enterprise.product.enterprise.search.enabled=false

Docker: Deactivating LES

LES features are available out-of-the-box in all Liferay DXP 7.4+ and quarterly release Docker images. If you don’t have a subscription for support and would like to deactivate the features, you can set a property or use an environment variable:

1. If using properties files to configure the container, deactivate it by setting the enterprise.product.enterprise.search.enabled portal property to false:

   enterprise.product.enterprise.search.enabled=false
   

2. To use an environment variable to override the portal property, set

   LIFERAY_ENTERPRISE_PERIOD_PRODUCT_PERIOD_ENTERPRISE_PERIOD_SEARCH_PERIOD_ENABLED=false
