There is a possibility to implement a simple full text search functionality using Gentics Portal | java and Gentics Mesh Search Plugin. Using a dedicated search handler configuration one can enable the handler itself (disabled by default), provide a Handlebars template for the results rendering, as well as perform some basic search request configuration.
By default the search handler expects a template named searchresults.hbs, serving at /search endpoint, accepting the following parameters:
q contains the actual query text for a full text search
p contains the current page index
t contains the comma separated list of tags to look upon (if the content is tagged)
l contains the target content language in ISO 639-1 code
An example of Handlebars template for results visualizing:
{{#if gpj_search_results.totalHits }}
<h2>{{ gpj_search_results.totalHits }} result{{#if equals gpj_search_results.totalHits 1}}{{else}}s{{/if}}</h2>
<ul>{{#each gpj_search_results.results}}
<li><a href="{{ raw.fields.gtx_url }}">{{ raw.fields.name }}</a></li>
{{/each}}</ul>
{{else}}
<h2>No results</h2>
{{/if}}Where the variables are:
gpj_request_query contains an object of request query parameters and values
gpj_search_curAction contains a string with request endpoint and action
gpj_search_results contains an object with search results.
See Gentics Mesh Search Plugin documentation for details.
