Overview of free-text search
Free-text search depends on a full-text search engine, the Guidewire Solr Extension. You can configure free-text search and the Guidewire Solr Extension for different kinds of operation:
- External
- Supported in production and development environments, the Guidewire Solr Extension runs as a separate application in a different instance of the application server than the instance that runs PolicyCenter.
- Embedded
- Supported only in development environments, the Guidewire Solr Extension runs automatically as part of PolicyCenter in the application server instance that runs PolicyCenter, not as a separate application.
