CERN Search as a Service

The purpose of CERN Search as a Service is to provide enterprise search capabilities for services.

Therefore, if you choose an enterprise search instance we will provide you with an endpoint, where to send all youd documents and files, and then, submit queries that will generate relevant results.

Disclaimers

Data ownership

CERN Search is a service to facilitate searching and indexing capabilities, however it's not meant to be used as a primary data storage, as data loss may occur. The search is not responsible to be the only source of truth for the data it displays, owners are responsible to keep their data's source of truth in an external primary data store (e.g. DBOD).

In regards to its document content extraction capabilities, Cern Search is not responsible to provide or store the files after uploading. The user must provide an url to access the file, external to the search domain. If not provided the file's content will be searchable but the result will not be linkable to any file.

Disastery recovery

We do not offer backups of the data indexed. In case of disaster instance owners are responsible to re-ingest all the data.
