How to Add Enterprise Search to Adobe AEM with Viglet Turing ES
· 6 min read
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) ships with Oak/Lucene indexing that is excellent for authoring and repository operations — but it was never meant to power a public-facing search experience: faceted navigation, autocomplete, relevance tuning, multi-language sites, and increasingly, conversational (RAG) answers over your content.
Most teams reach for a SaaS layer — Algolia, Coveo, or Lucidworks — and pay per document and per query, while their content leaves their infrastructure. This guide shows the open-source alternative: indexing AEM into Viglet Turing ES, an Apache-2.0 enterprise search platform you self-host, with semantic navigation and generative AI built in.
