Search Result Using Servlet

[Former Community Member]

Hello Everyone,

I have developed a Content Finder tab in which User would be able to view all content (Text/paragraphs) from Geometrixx website by default. Now I need to write a servlet to get content/paragraphs by using keywords (just like how they are able to search keywords in images).

Any Suggestion would be highly appreciated !

   Build a servlet and use the Query builder API in the servlet. You can use search terms in Query builder API.   For information  about using Query builder API, see https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/using-query-builder-api1.html

Hi,

there are various examples of getting results from a servlet with Ajax.[1][2]

Here is an example of how to create and populate a new tab in content finder[3]

Here is another example of using a Servlet to call a servlet that reads the AEM JCR and constructs JSON data. Then the data is displayed in an AEM GUI component - in this case - a tree component.
