Explorer

Enterprise search application for collecting, and searching across data from different sources

  • Trying a search in explorer admin

Explorer enables indexing of custom data sources (aka collections). Each collection stores it’s data in separate XP repos.

Back office

Explorer admin interface lets search operators control the collections, manage fields, synonym lists and exposes the data through “interfaces”.

Custom user interfaces

Search result can be delivered through custom front-ends of any kind and design. Visit https://helsebiblioteket.no/sok for a live example.

Platform

Explorer is more than just an app, it is a platform. You may extend it with custom collectors (apps that collect data), with custom configuration forms. Starters and examples of how how to build custom collectors are available.

API

Explorer provides an API that can be used directly by other XP applications. This also enables you to create custom search interfaces, or even search API’s that fit your requirements.

Freemium licensing

Explorer is licensed under a “freemium model”. This means that everyone can use Explorer with basic functionality. Subscription customers can enjoy all functionality as well as unlimited numbers of collections and interfaces.
