Advanced Search 2.0

As of Shopware 6.5.6.0, AdvancedSearch will only use OpenSearch. Up to version 6.5.6.0, either Elasticsearch or OpenSearch can be used.

Advanced Search is part of the Commercial extension and is available to you as an extension from the Shopware Evolve plan.

SaaS customers can already use Advanced Search without any further installation.

Advanced Search offers you simple configuration options and high performance due to the Elasticsearch / Opensearch basis.

Requirements

Both Elasticsearch and OpenSearch can be used for Advanced Search. Depending on which you choose, a corresponding instance is required. You can learn how to integrate Elasticsearch into Shopware 6 here.

Additionally, the Commercial extension must be installed & activated. More information about the Commercial extension can be found here.
