Hello, Just to put some light on the product search. Main class involved : applications/product/src/org/ofbiz/product/product/ProductSearch.java
It's 100% SGDB based, not lucene or whatever. For a reminder, there is an entity in Ofbiz called ProductKeyword which primary key is ProductId and Keyword (varchar(60)) and that is filled at each creation update of the product carateristics, name, fields,.... So is it today the best and most efficient way to do search? huho, not sure you are right.. But for product only, it's usually enough (boolean search speaking). Now if need also to index files that are associated with product and may be (but i don't know if exist already as i never looked) if need to index CMS and files uploaded through CMS, a solution based on a real search engine should be far more superior.
