Use Cases

Catalyst Search can be used in the following scenarios:

• An e-commerce application that contains a search bar in the UI where the end users can search for a particular product. The user’s single search query should be able to retrieve records from all available product categories in the inventory. The scope of the search is a vast area of the product database. These search queries with heavy loads can be processed quickly and efficiently using Catalyst search. The user receives the results of their search with minimal response time.

• A contact directory application that requires to process customized search, such as sorting the search results based on a certain criteria or allowing the user to look up records starting with a particular alphabet, can implement Catalyst search. The customizable code allows the application developer to tailor Catalyst logic to suit their requirements.
