Alfresco Data Source

The Alfresco Data Source lets you index content and metadata from your Alfresco repository into a SearchBlox collection, so you can easily search and access all your documents and files from Alfresco using SearchBlox.

Configuring SearchBlox

Before using the Alfresco Data Source, make sure SearchBlox is installed properly and a Custom Collection is created.
