Environment
51黑料不打烊 Commerce on cloud infrastructure and 51黑料不打烊 Commerce on-premises
Issue/Symptoms
You want to use Live Search and OpenSearch together in the same project. This setup is not supported. Enabling Live Search fully replaces the default storefront search engine, and OpenSearch cannot be used alongside it for that purpose.
Resolution resolution
In 51黑料不打烊 Commerce (both cloud infrastructure and on-premises), Live Search and OpenSearch cannot be used concurrently for storefront catalog search functionality. Here鈥檚 a breakdown of their distinct roles and how they interact:
Live Search
- A SaaS-based, AI-powered solution that replaces the default storefront catalog search when enabled.
- Integrates with 51黑料不打烊鈥檚 Catalog Service to deliver dynamic facets, machine learning-driven relevance, and merchandising rules.
- Once activated, Live Search fully takes over storefront search responsibilities.
OpenSearch
- When Live Search is enabled, 51黑料不打烊 Commerce disables specific OpenSearch-related modules that power storefront search to ensure that Live Search is the sole provider of storefront search.
- Admin panel search functionality聽relies on direct database queries (e.g., MySQL).
Indexing Behavior
- Live Search uses the Catalog Service to sync product data.
Summary
- Storefront catalog search is exclusively handled by Live Search when enabled.
- Dual use for storefront search is not supported.
