This plugin is part of a suite of plugins that comprise the Backstage search platform, which is still very much under development. This plugin specifically is responsible for:
- Allowing other backend plugins to register the fact that they have documents
that they'd like to be indexed by a search engine (known as
collators) - Allowing other backend plugins to register the fact that they have metadata
that they'd like to augment existing documents in the search index with
(known as
decorators) - A scheduler that, at configurable intervals, compiles documents to be indexed and passes them to a search engine for indexing
- Types for all of the above
Documentation on how to develop and improve the search platform is currently
centralized in the search plugin README.md.
For a better overview of how the search platform is put together, check the Backstage Search Architecture documentation.
