References and configuration

To use the EPiServer Find .NET API, first add references to the required assemblies, EPiServer.Find.dll and NewtonSoft.Json.dll. Next, configure the service URL and default index name in web.config/app.config.

Configuring the service URL and default index name

1. Open the web.config/app.config file and add the following:

 <configuration>
     <configSections>
            <section
            name="episerver.find"
            type="EPiServer.Find.Configuration, EPiServer.Find" requirePermission="false"/>
        </configSections>
        <episerver.find
            serviceUrl="http://..."
        defaultIndex="myindex"/>
</configuration>

2. Create an instance of the Client class using EPiServer.Find.Client.CreateFromConfig().

3. Start indexing and searching.
