WebSphere Commerce search programming model, extension points, and customization tasks

This guide outlines the WebSphere Commerce search programming model, extension points, and how it can be customized. There are mandatory and optional areas to work with, depending on the customization that is being performed to your WebSphere Commerce search implementation.

Most customization flows involve indexing new data from either the database or a file, searching against the new indexed fields, displaying the indexed data in the storefront, and creating business rules by using the indexed data field. There are other advanced search customization areas that require some runtime customization where a custom search expression provider, search result filter, or other runtime search extension points might require customization.
