Content Search
Whilst content browsing is still the most common way to discover content, search is a very useful tool when trying to find specific content by one of its features, such as title, actor or description. A benefit of this functionality is that other content can also be discovered.
Content search is provided through the Search Facade – a single interface into the NAGRA platform for search, hiding the complexity of the standard internal search. The Search Facade can be extended to support external search integrations for bespoke operator deployments.
You can also use Search Facade to enable Voice channel selection.
It is also possible to perform a search query through Content Builder, which returns the search results in the form of a template and rails, similar to those it returns for other template/layout/rail requests.
This means that you do not need specific code to handle and present search results – you can re-use the same code you use for presenting templates and rails. See Searching using search rails.
