Description
By default the Search Application includes database search. Starting with XWiki Enterprise 2.4 Milestone 1 XWiki's default search uses Lucene, which has several benefits over database search.
Database Search
The database search page is available by navigating to Main.DatabaseSearch.
Search Administration
Starting with XWiki Enterprise 2.4 M1 the Search Application can be configured in the dedicated section in the wiki administration section (Wiki Menu -> Administer XWiki -> Search).
In this section you can choose the default engine: Lucene, Database or Solr.
