Need help with understanding how discourse search works

@simon

Are you asking what Discourse does to allow the site to be searched by Google?

I think @Ranjan is asking how Discourse implements search in the Discourse application and is not asking about Google search.

@Ranjan

Since our community is on Discourse platform, how does discourse implement search?
Are there different Discourse tags? different from tags that google uses to capture information?

What tags(Question of the post , Topic title, Keywords within answer, Category tags for the question ) would bring best search results for our community posts?

He seems interested to understand how Discourse implements their internal search algorithm, and a good place to start is here in class SearchController:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/94cd5ac0b1b654ba55028c3cdead1bfb40af2991/app/controllers/search_controller.rb

Hey @Ranjan … you would be amazed at how much information can be found in the Discourse open source code on GitHub!
