Query Pipelines

Query pipelines are the fabric between the search result lists, which are rendered and the search engine. You can call them via our APIs, or by using the search interface .

Query pipelines comprise

  1. Query transformation

  2. Querying the search engine

  3. Transforming the search results

Please note that implictely each query pipeline adds ACL tokens for security trimming.

Here you can add and remove query pipelines.

Please note that reordering has no effect to the search experience or APIs.

Query Pipeline Configuration

  • Query Pipeline Name: internal representation of the pipeline

  • Search engine: the search engine which should be queried after applying the query transformation (see below)

Query Transformer

Here, you can define the transformation steps from the search interface (or API call) towards the search engine. You can add or remove transformation steps or reorder them. The order determines the sequence in which the pipeline transforms the original query.

  • Id of the transformer: Here you can choose the transformer, you like to apply. For more details, please refer to
