This feature gives customers the way to remind themselves of a product and also help merchants to measure interest to it. WL sharing to friends, colleagues, etc. expands the shop audience. This concept is widely used by e-merchants and generally included into a default set of e-commerce functionality. Read More »
In SAP Hybris Commerce, the requests for the SOLR search engine are created by Query Builders. Simply put, these components convert the user queries to SOLR queries.

Unfortunately, the official documentation is very sparse and lack of examples. This article explains the differences between available query builders. You will also find a good compliment to one of the previous articles about the search relevancy. Read More »

In this article, I present my PoC that demonstrates the better synonym handling and enhanced phrase search in hybris. Read More »
