The era of traditional DXP search—where the user does all the heavy lifting—is officially over. In today’s digital landscape, “good enough” search results are no longer acceptable. To meet modern demands, your Liferay DXP must provide instant, synthesized, and authoritative answers—not just a list of simple blue links.
As the CEO of XTIVIA and an Elastic Accredited Sales Specialist in GenAI and Search, I have seen firsthand how the integration of AI-native capabilities can fundamentally reshape user experiences. It is no longer about just finding documents; it is about understanding intent and delivering outcomes.
The Power Couple: Liferay DXP + Elastic
Liferay has long relied on Elasticsearch as its primary search engine, but for many organizations, this integration remains underutilized—stuck in the era of simple keyword matching.
When you unlock the full potential of Elastic’s AI-native features within Liferay, you transform your platform from a content repository into an intelligent experience engine.
1. Hybrid Search Architecture
Modern relevance requires more than keywords. By combining Liferay’s structured data with Elastic’s vector search capabilities, you can implement a Hybrid Search Architecture. This allows your system to understand the context of a user’s query, not just the specific words they used.
2. Generative AI and RAG
The buzz around GenAI is real, but implementation is where it counts. By leveraging Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), we can connect Liferay’s authoritative content with Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI or Google Vertex AI via Elastic. The result? Your DXP doesn’t just search; it speaks. It summarizes complex policies, answers specific questions, and acts as a true concierge for your users—all while keeping your data secure.
