This repository contains a collection of Search experiments in a take-home lab format. The content is intended for intermediate to advanced AEM developers and customizers.
The goal of these experiments is to demonstrate the impact of search optimization and best practices adoption in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
This repo does not attempt to prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution to search optimization. Due to the myriad use cases that AEM supports, it would be impossible to do so. Instead, pick and choose concepts from the below experiments and try them out on your project.
You will need the following SDKs, tools, and apps installed to work through the experiments:
You will also need a local AEM author setup:
- AEM 6.5 author instance running on
:4502- Ideally, with the latest Service Pack installed
In this experiment, we examine the before and after effects of creating a custom Lucene property index.
⇨ Performance gains of a Lucene property index
In this experiment, we'll take a vague search query and see the performance boost achieved by narrowing its search criteria.
⇨ Performance gains of a simple query refinement
In this experiment, we use Query Builder's p.guessTotal to improve query performance.
⇨ Performance gains for large result sets
In this experiment, we consider what customizers should do after their queries are optimized and they find their search still takes a long time and returns a large set.
