A note from 2026: This article was published in 2017, when the platform was still commonly called SAP hybris. It is now SAP Commerce Cloud, and search-related capabilities have evolved across releases, including newer Solr versions and SAP Commerce Cloud Search Services; implementation details may differ from those shown here.

In this article, you will find the third and fourth parts of the 3-hour presentation given by Rauf Aliev (EPAM SAP hybris Solution Architect) at SAP Moscow on Sep 29, 2017.

The next parts of the presentation cover specific solutions, such as a rule-based recommendation system and page fragment caching.

The video is originally in Russian. However, I translated it into English and added subtitles so you can watch it without turning the sound on.

If you speak Russian, I recommend watching the original version.

Multi-word synonyms

Main article: https://hybrismart.com/2017/08/09/enhanced-multi-word-synonyms-and-phrase-search/

The third part is about handling multi-word synonyms in hybris. Hybris doesn’t support phrasal synonyms because of limitations in SOLR, the search engine. I present a module that makes it work via customization of the hybris search module.
