Sitefinity CMS supports three search services out of the box: Lucene, Azure Cognitive Search service, and Elasticsearch service. By default, Sitefinity CMS uses Lucene, but you can switch between search services. The last 2 decouple the search index data from the local storage and can provide full search capabilities when the site is deployed in the cloud. For information about generating and storing search indexes in the cloud, see Azure search services. To help you choose which search service suits your needs best, see Compare search services.
The Search widget supports search suggestions that you can configure by additional properties. The option to filter the suggestions by date/time, integer, categories, and tags is supported by the search API and can be applied by overriding the Search results widget.
