Search Capability for DAM Assets in External Site

We have a site in which users can upload assets to the DAM. On this site, we would like for the user to be able to enter in a search term and be shown assets that are related to that search term. Is there an aspect of Adobe Experience Manager that can help with this? So far, I have only been able to find out about the omni search feature, which is awesome, but I'd love to have that same kind of functionality outside of AEM, in an external site.

HI,

You can try asset selector to integrate DAM with external application

If I understand your question you want to search the AEM assets from an External application which uploads assets to AEM DAM.

I guess you can write AEM servlet which can expose the AEM Search service which can be consumed the external application.

Just sharing one idea here if we do send required metadata of each asset to Solr for indexing and use this Solr search in external application. 

Do you see any deficiency @arunpatidar with this approach?
