30
Eduard Moraru 1.3 31 1. ##title## - the text to display for your implementation in the search engine select
32 1. ##admin## - a reference to the wiki page where you administrate your search implementation (ex: 'XWiki.SolrSearchAdmin')

86 Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added.

Eduard Moraru 1.1 92
Eduard Moraru 1.2 93 In case you were using a custom search implementation before this version which relied on previous naming and location conventions, you will need to make the necessary adjustments, meaning that you have to declare your implementation as an extension to the search application's extension point [[(see above)>>||anchor="HExtensiblesearchUIimplementations"]].
