Webinar: How to Build Custom Search Pages in Drupal 8

Parent Feed: 

The definition of “what a search page is” varies from project to project. Some clients are happy with the core Search module, others want a full blown search engine.

Drupal offers a wide range of options when it comes to building custom search pages. You can create a basic search page using the core Search module or if you’re looking for something advanced you could use Search API.

In the recorded webinar I cover the following:

  • Search in Drupal 7 (1:24)
  • What’s new in Drupal 8 (8:37)
  • Create Search Page using Core Search (15:24)
  • Create Search Page using Views (19:20)
  • How to Modify Search Results (22:34)
  • Introduction to Search API (25:28)
  • How to Create Facets (38:20)
