If I want to build a custom module that uses the API for index based search for search my own tables, do I need an additional search module?

Hi Aki,

If I understood you correctly, you're asking whether you need any other modules in order to use APIs within the Dynamicweb.Searching namespace. If so, then my answer is - no, you don't need any other modules.

You can also index your own tables and perform the search by them. Once you created your own data provider you will be able to trigger updates from the Management Center -> System -> Searching.

Take a look at this article for an inspiration of how to create a custom indexer (data provider):

If you have any questions regarding how to create your own data provider, I will be happy to answer them.
