README

ke_search is a search engine for the TYPO3 content management system.

It offers fulltext search and faceting possibilities. Faceting means you can narrow down your search results by selecting certain categories, called facets or filter options.

It is very flexible: By writing your own indexer you can put any content you want into the index.

ke_search comes with strong defaults and with very little configuration. You can have a powerful search engine in your TYPO3 website, eg. images in the search result list and faceting without templating or coding.

ke_search does not use frontend crawling but fetches content elements and data records directly from the database. For the most used content types indexers are provided within the extension itself, including pages and news.

Testing

Manual testing

To test manually if your code is working, set up a TYPO3 instance for testing and symlink or deploy the directory ke_search to your TYPO3 test instance to typo3conf/ext/ke_search. If you deploy the code (e.g. by using PHPStorm "Deployment" feature), you can ignore the .Build directory.

There are also ome helpers available to test your automatically, see below.

Unit Tests

composer test:unit

PHPStan

To check the code with PHPStan
