Summary

Full Text Search (FTS) is a crucial feature of Content Management Systems that facilitates searching both content and associated metadata. The article explores a scalable integration of FTS into a Content Management architecture using Couchbase, specifically through Couchbase Full Text Search (CBFT), which was announced in 2015 and covers a majority of application features without requiring additional tiers like ElasticSearch. The article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up CBFT with Apache Chemistry to enable metadata full-text search, including creating a CBFT index on a Couchbase bucket and testing the index. It also details how to activate full-text query capabilities in the CMIS Couchbase repository and outlines using a REST API with a Jersey client to query the CBFT index, allowing users to retrieve content efficiently from the Couchbase repository.
