ExtendedSearch configuration

If the ElasticSearch service is up and running, you can enable BlueSpice Extended Search.

• Go to your BlueSpice install path. For example:

cd /var/www/bluespice

• Go to the folder settings.d:

cd settings.d

• Create a file in this folder and name it 020-BlueSpiceExtendedSearch.local.php.
• Put the following content in the newly created file.

<?php
wfLoadExtension( 'BlueSpiceExtendedSearch' );
$GLOBALS['wgSearchType'] = 'BS\\ExtendedSearch\\MediaWiki\\Backend\\BlueSpiceSearch';

• Go to your BlueSpice install path again. For example:

cd /var/www/bluespice

• Run the following scripts to build the search index.

php extensions/BlueSpiceExtendedSearch/maintenance/initBackends.php --quick
php extensions/BlueSpiceExtendedSearch/maintenance/rebuildIndex.php --quick
php maintenance/runJobs.php

Done! The extended search functionality is now active.
