SearchBlox for On-Prem OpenSearch

SearchBlox Enterprise Search Solution allows you to integrate with the OpenSearch On-Prem solution.

SearchBlox allows you to rapidly deploy high-performance search-based applications.

• Search data from 326+ data sources within internal and external connectors
• Web Admin Console with User Management (SearchBlox Realm/LDAP-AD/Okta)
• Support for 36 languages and 33+ document formats
• REST API for programmatic crawling/indexing/administration/search/queries

Once you deploy SearchBlox on Windows, CentOS/RHEL or Ubuntu, or Amazon Linux 2, configure your opensearch path with the user credentials for SearchBlox to use OpenSearch.

SearchBlox will also work with the latest Opensearch v2.11 for OpenSearch

Create a new deployment for Opensearch v2.11 on OpenSearch and copy the Opensearch location, username and password.
