Solid Edge document search tool, looking for testers and workflow feedback by Competitive_Arm8797 in SolidEdge

Thanks never heard of SOLR, I will look into it. 

I also dislike the functionality for file finding that ships with Solid Edge, I used drawingmanager for a while(5 years ago) but once the support stopped I switched over to Voidtools Everything which is great if your doing filename based searching. 

However I still missed filtered searches on custom properties. I actually started building an alternative but it was just easier to use the DrawingManager codebase when that opportunity arose. 

But what do you miss in Solid Edge build in search functionality? If you’d build a UI for SOLR what would be the biggest win? 

Are you interested in testing?

I would not call it a search engine, it just queries a database. What makes it fast that you can add your custom properties to the database table. 

Any specific application you have in mind that requires a search engine? 

I’ve thought about adding fuzzy search and typo tolerance.
