Improve assets/blocks search engine in the back-end

Vote:
 

Hello,

Is there a way to customize the search engine used to filter assets/blocks in the back-end ?

I would like to be able to search by author (who uploaded the the asset) or by date of upload.

Thank you very much !

Loïc

Which search engine does your back-office use? Find or Episerver.Search?

Hello Erik,

We're using EPiServer Search v8.1.0

Then the information is already in the search index in the fields EPISERVER_SEARCH_AUTHORS and EPISERVER_SEARCH_CREATED and you can create queries to search in those fields.

However if you wish to change which fields the default back-office searches in you will probably have to register your own search provider that creates your query:
