Setup Find search for Docs

This configuration will enable Find searches:

• Each save on core.Document or core.DocumentAccess will trigger the indexing of the document into Find.
• The api/v1.0/documents/search/ will be used as proxy for searching documents from Find indexes.

Create an index service for Docs

Configure a Service for Docs application with these settings

• Name: docs
  request.auth.name of the Docs application.
• Client id: impress
  Name of the token audience or client_id of the Docs application.

See how-to-use-indexer.md for details.

Configure settings of Docs

Find uses a service provider authentication for indexing and a OIDC authentication for searching.

Add those Django settings to the Docs application to enable the feature.

SEARCH_INDEXER_CLASS="core.services.search_indexers.FindDocumentIndexer"

SEARCH_INDEXER_COUNTDOWN=10  # Debounce delay in seconds for the indexer calls.
SEARCH_INDEXER_QUERY_LIMIT=50 # Maximum number of results expected from the search endpoint

INDEXING_URL="http://find:8000/api/v1.0/documents/index/"
SEARCH_URL="http://find:8000/api/v1.0/documents/search/"

# Service provider authentication
SEARCH_INDEXER_SECRET="find-api-key-for-docs-with-exactly-50-chars-length"

# OIDC authentication
OIDC_STORE_ACCESS_TOKEN=True  # Store the access token in the session
OIDC_STORE_REFRESH_TOKEN=True  # Store the encrypted refresh token in the session
OIDC_STORE_REFRESH_TOKEN_KEY="<your-32-byte-encryption-key==>"

OIDC_STORE_REFRESH_TOKEN_KEY must be a valid Fernet key (32 url-safe base64-encoded bytes). To create one, use the bin/fernetkey command.
