Site Search Developer Documentation

This page summarizes the key Developer Documentation for the SearchStax Site Search solution.

Search App

A Search App serves as the foundation of a Site Search project, enabling functions such as web crawling, search, and analytics. Each Search App is linked to a Solr index and can be customized to enhance the search experience on a website. To create a Search App, users must first provision it within their SearchStax account.

See Creating a Search App.
