AEM DAM Omnisearch Tips and Tricks  
by gdWebct


Overview

Still, haven't found what you're looking for in the DAM? Could be either because your search results expectations deserve a new algorithm, or, perhaps -- the easiest path--, there's some fine-tuning in order.

During a recent survey I discovered that the primary method of finding the right digital asset was using search keywords.

 

For example, someone looking for 'Washington D.C.' (single quotes added for effect) might
retrieve results also displaying 'buddha temple' 'steeple' 'building', etc.

When that happens, it might be time to do some foundational, quick work to check some things under the DAM hood :). My humble advice (especially if your audience is AEM beginners):

 

Even without any Smart Content Service features enabled, you'll find that searching by keywords yields a highly accurate number of results that boost your content creation and personalization efforts. In my case, I'm aiming for under 1-minute accurate digital asset search and discovery, to get one step closer to that nirvana stage of use case, workflow and content velocity equilibrium.

I ended up customizing the omnisearch for metadata profile search. I took a lot of time to research and understand and there were no major docs on omnisearch impl 

 

This is great that you have a thread around it
