Add frontend search to your Pimcore CMS in minutes, not sprints

Results on your site, out of the box

One Twig call renders a paginated, sortable results list with highlighted matches. Override the template, or skip it and use the JSON API.

/search?q=noise+cancelling+headphones

Default template rendered with pimcore_search_render() on a demo site. Bring your own CSS.

Works with the Pimcore stack you already run

No wrapper, no fork, no custom indexer to maintain. Installs as a standard bundle via Composer and plugs into your existing Pimcore version, PHP runtime, and OpenSearch instance.

From composer require to first results

About ten minutes on an existing Pimcore project with OpenSearch running. Optional: pdftotext (poppler-utils) for PDF text.

1. Add the repository and require the package

   The package is served from our public Composer repository. No account or token needed.

   $ composer config repositories.2bdev-studio composer https://2bdev-studio.repo.repman.io $ composer require 2bdev-studio/pimcore-universal-search

2. Register the bundle

   In config/bundles.php:

   PimcoreLabs\Bundle\UniversalSearchBundle\UniversalSearchBundle::class => ['all' => true],

3. Point it at OpenSearch

   In .env:

   OPENSEARCH_URL=http://opensearch:9200

4. Install tables and assets

   $ bin/console pimcore:bundle:install UniversalSearchBundle $ bin/console assets:install $ bin/console cache:clear

5. Choose which objects are searchable

   Documents and PDF/text assets are indexed out of the box. Data objects need a short entry per class in config/packages/pimcore_universal_search.yaml:

   pimcore_universal_search: objects: Product: fields: [name, description, sku] # first field is the title url_pattern: '/product/{key}'

6. Build the index and search

   $ bin/console pimcore:search:index --sync $ curl 'https://your-site.test/search?q=hello'

   Then render results in any Twig template:

   {{ pimcore_search_render(app.request.query.get('q')) }}

From OpenSearch basics to enterprise-grade frontend search

Start free with a production-ready OpenSearch integration. Pro adds multi-site indexing, Meilisearch, rich document extraction, and a no-code admin panel.

Built for how Pimcore projects actually use search

Every Pimcore implementation needs search somewhere: a product catalog, a document library, a DAM browser, a customer portal. It adapts to the scenario instead of forcing one generic search box.
