Enabling and disabling Search V2

This document outlines configurations to enable and disable Search V2 in HCL Digital Experience (DX) Compose using the values.yaml file. Search introduces a new user interface along with a new backend service that utilizes OpenSearch to provide a seamless search experience.

Search configuration

Refer to the following sample snippet for configuring the DX Compose server to enable Search V2:

# Application configuration
configuration:
  # Application specific configuration for Core
  webEngine:
    # Settings for SearchV2 UI configuration
    search:
      # Determines if search ui v2 is enabled or not
      uiV2Enabled: true
      # Determines to which search center any input box on DX redirects by default
      inputRedirectVersion: "v2"

Set the value of the key uiV2Enabled to true to enable or false to disable Search V2. Set the value of the key inputRedirectVersion to v2 to redirect all searches on DX to the new Search V2 UI.

Validation

After updating the values.yaml file, perform the following actions:

• If running the server for the first time, refer to Installing WebEngine.
• If upgrading previous configurations, refer to Upgrading the Helm deployment.

Access the HCL Search V2 by navigating to Practitioner Studio > Web Content > Search.
