Conjunction is a utility for Sitecore that solves the issue of creating configurable and personalizable queries for either the Lucene or Solr search engine, using Sitecore's ContentSearch API as the backbone.
Features
Conjunction has some interesting parts that are worth mentioning, as it:
- Enables search query configuration without code changes
- Allows specifying nested search query structures for complex queries
- Allows a search query to either react to values provided dynamically, or by using preset default values
- Makes it possible to vary search queries based on personalization
- Uses the ContentSearch API as the underlying interface for querying search results
- Enables extensibility
Installation instructions
Before installing Conjunction, you'll need a working Sitecore 8.0 (or later) instance running on your machine.
- Install Conjunction binaries. This is as simple as adding the Conjunction.Foundation.Core NuGet package to your project.
- Install Conjunction Sitecore package. You can find the required Sitecore package here, which contains the nessecary Sitecore templates and items required to configure search queries from Sitecore.
