23 == Extensible search UI implementations ==
24
25 It is now possible to provide your custom search UI implementation that will become available in the list of search engines under ##Administration > Applications > Search##.
26
27 To achieve this, we have declared the ##org.xwiki.platform.search## [[UI Extension>>extensions:Extension.UIExtension Module]] point ID that accepts 3 parameters:
28
29 1. ##title## - the text to display for your implementation in the search engine select
30 1. ##admin## - a reference to the wiki page where you administrate your search implementation (ex: 'XWiki.SolrSearchAdmin')
31 1. ##search## - a reference to the search page that should be used when your search implementation is active (ex: 'Main.SolrSearch')

86 Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
