Installing Search Experiences on Liferay 7.3

LES Subscription DXP 7.4 U5+; 7.3 U6+

The Liferay Enterprise Search Experiences app includes a suite of features granting fine-grained control over the end user’s search experience. While these features are bundles in Liferay 7.4 and quarterly releases, they must be installed on Liferay 7.3.

Search Blueprints

Search Blueprints is the first feature in the Search Experiences application. With it you can

• Make minor tweaks to Liferay’s default search page behavior
• Override the search page behavior completely
• Configure context-aware search results based on attributes of the search user

Semantic Search

Beta Feature

Semantic Search parses index content and users’ natural language search phrases with a machine learning model, so that results better reflect the intent of their search.
