Search

Overview of Emporix search integration options and related documentation.

Emporix Commerce Engine can keep an external search engine in sync with your catalog so products stay searchable on the storefront. Changes to products and related data (price, category, availability, and similar) drive the indexing. How those updates reach the search provider depends on the integration configuration.

Integration paths

You can connect Emporix to a search engine in one of two ways:

• Indexing Service – You register a supported provider in Emporix. Commerce Engine builds index documents and sends create, update, and delete requests to the provider. Recommended when you use a supported native provider.
• Webhook-based search – Emporix prepares index-item events and delivers them through the Webhook Service (typically by Svix) to endpoints you configure for any search engine. Use when you need custom payload transformation, a provider without native Indexing Service support, or a third-party engine.

See the guides in this section to learn more about the search strategies:
