How do i create flexible search interface in backoffice

[Former Member]

Hello ,

I have a requirement where in i need to create the same interface and search functionality as flexible search of hac, the facades and service used in the controllers of flex search are not visible and could not be imported . Is there any other way by which it could be achieved.

Thanks !!

This would be very handy indeed. We are giving some product managers the right to use the hac only for flexible search (usergroup: hac_console_flexiblesearch). This is not a preferred solution, but the best we have. Time that SAP makes it possible to add some view on the database in the backoffice by making use of the flexible search approach...

Hello,

Is it really needed? What is your use case? In the backoffice you have Advanced Search Controller, which uses Flexible Search under the hood. You can design pretty complicated queries with it and see the results in the Collection Browser. Moreover, you have Simple Search with Solr, which has auto-suggestion and auto-correction functionality and is designed for simpler use cases. If you really need a custom search functionality you can try to extend Advanced Search Controller.
