Azure Search for Umbraco with ExamineX
Seamless integration of Azure Search with Umbraco
ExamineX is an Umbraco add-on to effortlessly integrate Azure Search with Umbraco.
Are you getting Lucene file locks? Startup delays when scaling out? Indexes out of sync? Downtime from index rebuilding? … All of this is solved with ExamineX.
- Very easy to setup (install via Nuget)
- Ideal when hosting Umbraco on Azure Web Apps
- Perfect solution for load balancing and auto-scaling
- Works on Umbraco Cloud
- APIs provided for working directly with Azure Search services
With ExamineX you swap the default indexing and search engine from Lucene.Net to your own Azure AI Search service.
Since ExamineX is an implementation of Examine, you can continue to use the same Examine and Umbraco APIs that you are already used to without code changes.
ExamineX is developed by the creator of Examine.
