Using Endeca Search in CSC

Is CSC search uses Endeca, if not is there any integration document which i can refer for ATG integration with Endeca. Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks
Sam

ATG CSC won't come integrated with Endeca as of now, it uses ATG Search which is not that great. You can find the Endeca integration with ATG at the below document
Here is the documentation guide you can refer to for Atg-Endeca integration
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35318_01/Platform.10-1-1/ATGEndecaIntegrationGuide/html/index.html
Currently ATG 10.1.1 comes with Endeca integration, but it doesn't cover CSC. Hope it will be release in near future.

ATG Browse Search using Endeca Search.

Hi ,
I am trying to implement browse search using endeca search ,basically we are trying to get browse request implemented.
Can someone provide some heads-up on how we can achieve this.
Regards,
Girish

Hi Girish,
I think you basically want to implement all the Browse and Shop pages in ATG application from Endeca.
Couple of steps to follow
1. Create an Endeca Application using DeploymentTemplatePCI
2. Configure your product-sku-output-config.xml to add the required record attributes and dimensions that you would need apart from category and item type dimensions which are provided to you OOTB
3. Perform the baseline update from ATG using ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin component and check for the indexed records using the Endeca JSP Reference application
4. Create the category and sub-category pages in using Endeca Experience Manager in Work Bench (Eg: /pages/browse, you can show different content to each category by configuring the location)
5. Invoke the page from ATG using InvokeAssemblerDroplet or using the AssemblerPipelineServlet defined in your request handling pipeline.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Shabari

Oracle Endeca Search

What will the difference in IBM Data Explorer?

Hi,
The recently released 10.1 version of the Commerce Service Center (CSC) application comes bundled with ATG Search for orders and profiles. CSC 10.1 uses repository search for search the catalog (not ATG Search). In general, the entire ATG Web Commerce suite of products use ATG Search for version 10.1.
We are looking into using Endeca Search for future versions of CSC but these plans are still under discussion and review.

ATG Thai search for CSC solution

Hello,
Given that ATG doesn't support Thai search, what approach should we take to have thai search enabled in CSC for solutions.
Just want some thoughts and some approach to tackle this up.
I see that we will need a lex parser, but not getting much idea to start this up.
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated, (anyways I am doing lot of things now to play around existing search admin/configs).Thanks!
I understand that handling Thai grammar is bit tricky.(no punctuation, etc..)
Regards
Shamama

Which will be better working in ATG CSC or Endeca Search?

Hi All,
I am fresher. currently working on CSC module of ATG.
Which will be better working in ATG CSC or Endeca Search?
Could you please help me?
Thanks & Best regards,

As mentioned by Gopi, CSC and Endeca are different products. Currently ATG CSC doesn't come integrated with Endeca search, and uses its own atg search functionality. Regarding the ATG CSC, search, u can get complete information in ATG documentation.

Faceted search using endeca

Are endeca dimensions and facets(as in faceted search the same things). If not can someone provide me some reference material for doing faceted search using endeca.

I'm not sure whether your question is aimed at the Discovery or Commerce Endeca engine. However, there are similarities.
In Oracle Commerce. a dimension is an attribute type that contains data that will drive facetted guided navigation. The values contained by the field become the facets that you see in Guided Navigation. A Property attribute is used for continuously varying data. Either attribute type , Dimension or Property, can be made searchable.
In Information Discovery, no distinction is made between Dimension and Property attribute types. Instead, any attribute has the potential for driving faceted navigation, but an attribute has to be is configured to do so. In Studio, on the View you can specify whether an attribute should be used Dimensionally e.g. as a facet for filtering results. Generally speaking, continuously varying data will not be configured to be used Dimensionally whereas textual data often will be. These settings can be modified in the Views editor in Studio.

ATG Search vs Endeca Search

Why ATG is integrating with Endeca Search in ATG10.1.1?
Is there any issues with ATG Search? Why cant we use ATG Search itself for indexing and Search in Commerce applications.
Any specific advantages of Endeca Search over ATG Search. Please share your experience.

MBS

Does UTF-8 encoding support Thai language in Endeca Search?

Hi,
We have a requirement to configure Endeca search in Thai language. Does UTF-8 encoding on all the configuration files and for incoming data (Record Adapter) create issues with Thai character set? If yes, then please let us know which type of encoding will fix the issue? I am using the Endeca 6.4.0 for search configuration.

Hi
You should use the OLT analyzer as the Latin-1 analyzer doesn't support all the character codes used by the Thai language. Some words do not use these unsupported character codes, but many words will (any that contain tone marks), and searches for these will not return the correct results. Also the Thai language doesn't use whitespace segmentation so multi-term searches will not work correctly. Finally for ongoing support your best bet would be to use the officially recommended analyzer for this language, which is the OLT one.
In terms of the unavailability of certain features, is there any one of those features that you require? Note diacritic folding is (I believe) scheduled to be added in the next release, however this shouldn't be required in Thai to the best of my knowledge as the diacritics are integral to the language. If you need one or more of the other features then I'd recommend raising an SR as the more customers require this for OLT analyzer languages the greater the likelihood that support will be added for this.
Thanks

Using Endeca SEO in ATG

Hi All,
Does anyone worked on using Endeca SEO in ATG? I have tried it and works with base setup but facing some issue with Nucleus namespace while configuring misc-path.
For Testing purpose I have configured SEO components in ATG DAF framework.
Example:
ATG\ATG10.1.1\DAF\Endeca\Assembler\config\atg\endeca\url\basic\SeoUrlFormatter.properties
ATG\ATG10.1.1\DAF\Endeca\Assembler\config\atg\endeca\url\basic\StringFormatterChain.properties
ATG\ATG10.1.1\DAF\Endeca\Assembler\config\atg\endeca\url\basic\SeoNavStateFormatter.properties
ATG\ATG10.1.1\DAF\Endeca\Assembler\config\atg\endeca\url\basic\SeoDimLocationFormatter.properties
ATG\ATG10.1.1\DAF\Endeca\Assembler\config\atg\endeca\url\basic\BasicUrlFormatter.properties
ATG\ATG10.1.1\DAF\Endeca\Assembler\config\atg\endeca\url\basic\BasicQueryBuilder.properties
etc...
ERROR MESSAGE From the JBOSS Log:
09:46:05,353 ERROR [nucleusNamespace.] Unable to set configured property "/atg/endeca/url/basic/SeoDimLocationFormatter.key" atg.nucleus.ConfigurationException: Unable to resolve component /atg/endeca/url/basic/product.category

Does anyone has samples on misc-path definition in ATG?
Help will be much appreciated.

Just weighing in here. To create site URLs, the current revision of the Endeca Sitemap Generator (v2.1.1) uses Spring configuration. Specifically, the Endeca Sitemap Generator does not know how to consume UrlFormatter configuration specified using Nucleus. As such, if you configure your UrlFormatter (and associated classes) with Nucleus, then you will need to manage two separate versions of your UrlFormatter configuration: a Nucleus version for your application and a Spring version for the Sitemap Generator.
Without getting into any specifics, the purpose of the Endeca Sitemap Generator is to create sitemaps within a multi-dimensional navigation space. This is a unique problem (and big SEO opportunity) for faceted search sites. This is not something that you'll get with any generic sitemap generation utility.
With the above in mind, my understanding is that the forthcoming version of CRS will use the NucleusPublisher mechanism to resolve UrlFormatter components that are managed within a Spring context. While not ideal in the long-term, this does allow you to manage a single UrlFormatter configuration, which can be shared between your application and the Sitemap Generator.
For reference, here's the doc link for the NucleusPublisher:

Federated Search with Endeca Search Engine

Has anyone tried to Federate a search with an Endeca Search Engine? What I can't figure out is how do you get the Open Search URL format of a search engine. For example for Bing I guess the URL format is:
http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms}&format=rss&Market=en-Us
The only reason I know that is because I found this article:
http://3sharp.com/blog/build-a-federated-result-source-for-sharepoint-2013-search-part-1/
I'm wondering if there are Open Search URL standards that can be used for other search engines like Google or an Endeca search engine, etc?
Thanks.

I'm actually trying to figure out how to show Endeca search results inside of SharePoint 2013. That article is about trying to show SharePoint 2007 or 2010 results inside of Endeca. Does anyone know how to show Endeca results inside
of SharePoint though?
If that can't be done, by chance does anyone have updated Endeca documentation showing how to connect to SharePoint 2013?
Thanks.

How good Endeca Search is for ECM (Search on documents) products

HI all,
I am evaluating Endeca Search (Guided Search) as a search engine for Enterprise content management's .
Basic objectives are -
1) Search engine should be able to search documents with high relevancy.
2) When user sees the search results , he /she should be able to navigate/open the original document.
To be precise, users need is to find and open documents.
So I expect different points of view for the above use case. If anybody implemented similar use case, then please make some noise .
Regards,
Hoque

So I have been involved in half a dozen enterprise search projects using Endeca. Things to consider:
1. Ingesting the documents. (velocity, variety, volume and frequency of change, location of files ). Endeca Content Acquisition Server comes with a variety of connectors for various industry standard document repositories, web and file systems crawls. Document converter for various document types is included.
2. ACL and profiles for users. It is easy enough to create a link to the doc repository and pass credentials of the user. This has been fairly easy to achieve in the past.
3. Search relevancy ( Endeca has a versatile relevancy ranking technology)
4. Apply facets to documents so that they can be refined. Various ways to achieve this.
5 I18N Are the documents one language, multi language.
Check your price points for doing this , there are some systems out there that index everything and provide a basic text search, Endeca can combine structured and unstructured records with faceted navigation but it needs effort and work to do this.

Typeahead problem using Endeca

Hi all,
We are exploring the type ahead using Endeca option.
We started with the reference App (typeahead.xq) and were able to set it up.The challenge we are facing is:
We are getting the suggestions only after typing the entire search term.
For example:If we type "North" the suggestions North Goa,North America,North Carolina are coming up only after typing the entire word "North".
We would expect those to come after the letters Nor are typed or No are typed.I assume we are doing a match mode all hence this problem.
Can anyone guide us for achieving the wild card suggestions instead of getting the result after typing the whole word?
Saludos
Kartheek

Hi Kartheek,
There are a couple of things to check here:
1. Enable Dimensions for wildcard search by opening the project in Developer Studio, then open the Dimensions from the Project menu and you will see a button up top called "Configure Search". Open this and check the "Enable for wildcard search checkbox in the dialog box. You must re-run the baseline update.
2. Ensure that you are encapsulating the search term(s) inside the asterisk symbol when submitting the search to the Endeca engine. I can't remember but this may already be in the typahead.xq module.

AVG Secure Search appears when I use Google Search from my Home page only.

My home page is the Firefox default page with the Google searchbar. I like getting occasional messages from Firefox when I log in so I don't want to change my homepage. However, when I use the searchbar ''on my homepage only'', I get the unsatisfactory AVG Secure Search results.
UPDATE: I now realize all the troubleshooting information I included in my original question appears under the "More System Details" link next to the question, not in the body of the question. I have copied it here to make it easier to see what I have already done to try to solve the problem, as well as describe the one clue I have that may be relevant:
I have tried all the fixes on various threads, but my about:config is now pristine (no avg or isearch mentions; keyword.url is default). Closest solution is that at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/866327 , which requires changing my home page.
Oddly, AVG Secure Search is ''not'' a problem when I use the Google toolbar or search from the Google website, only when I use the search bar that appears on my home (start) page. This is true even when I return to my home page--if I search from the Google search bar in the middle of the page, I get sent to AVG Safe Search. (isearch.avg.com).
I read in one thread a suggestion to delete my chromeappsstore.sqlite file in my Profile folder. As promised, Firefox created a new one when I restarted it; however, the search bar in the middle of my home home page did not work at all. Tried this three times before restoring my original.
I do not have an application that will open a sqlite file, but I tried doing so in Excel and found a cell containing the following:
emoh.:moz-safe-aboutsearch-engine{"name":"AVG Secure Search","searchUrl":"http://isearch.avg.com/search?cid={7A3C25A0-E345-4507-AA31-D98F596A81A9}&mid=c48135235ba247d18ac1d14b344db451-addd29eab2809954d5abdf0b991a5b911a297819&ds=is015&lang=en&v=10.0.0.7&pr=sa&d=&sap=dsp&q=_searchTerms_"}
I have no clue what that means, but it is the only thing I can find related to Firefox that still mentions AVG and isearch.avg.com.
At this point my best guess (but it is a guess) is that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file is a key to the complete solution, but I do not have enough knowledge to go beyond and address it. I appreciate any help you anyone can offer.

Here is the way to get rid of the problem once and for all:

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

Is there a way to use different search engines on the main bar and on the small one without having to switch anything on the small one?

I want to use google when I type to search in the main bar and wikipedia on the small search bar on the right. However, they both seem to use the same search engine, depending on which one I've chosen on the small search bar. I want them to use different ones without having to click and change engines. How can I do that?

You can use a (one letter) keyword search on the location/address bar and assign a keyword via "Manage Search Engines".
You can use the Keyword Search extension to specify which search engine to use for searching via the location/address bar.
