Hi everybody,
we are confronted with a use case where the customer needs an integrated search over content from multiple sources: the normal AEM content from the JCR and content from an external system used for the documentation of processes. The customer currently uses Lucene to index both their CMS content and the external content in a common index. When migrating to Adobe AEM the customer still wants to be able to have that kind of integrated search.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to add external content to the AEM Lucene index?
- If yes, could the QueryBuilder be used to search for that kind of content together with native AEM content? Or will the fact that the content actually does not reside in the JCR break the search functionality?
I am wondering if that use case can be solved within AEM, or if integration of an external search engine like SOLR is necessary.
Any comments and pointers are deeply appreciated.
Henning
