Steps to creating your own indexer

1. Create a new module to contain the initialization code: https://docs.xperience.io/custom-development/creating-custom-modules/initializing-modules-to-run-custom-code . For the sake of simplicity, you can create the following files directly inside the CMSApp project that references Hawksearch.Kentico.Xperience.CMS NuGet package. Realistically, you would most likely want to create your own project which will reference Hawksearch.Kentico.Xperience.CMS and then have the CMSApp project reference your newly created project.

2. Either create your own class which implements Hawksearch.Kentico.Xperience.CMS.Services.Indexing.Contracts.IHawksearchIndexer or inherit from Hawksearch.Kentico.Xperience.CMS.Services.Indexing.Indexer.

3. Implement your custom logic.Create a new module to contain the initialization code: https://docs.xperience.io/custom-development/creating-custom-modules/initializing-modules-to-run-custom-code

4. In the module’s OnPreInit method, register your new indexer class. Here CustomIndexer is assumed to be your indexer class, so replace it with your own class name:
   

   Code Block
   protected override void OnPreInit() { base.OnPreInit(); CMS.Core.Service.Use<IHawksearchIndexer,CustomIndexer>(); }
