Hi there, with the fundamental change of Optimizely CMS Version 12 to .net5, there are some differences in the configuration of the Optimizely Search & Navigation (SaaS) Search Service. Here you can find a step-by-step introduction to get it up and running in your local development environment.
Create your developer index
Create your developer index for testing first https://find.episerver.com/
Adding Search & Navigation to your website
Install the latest NuGet package EPiServer.Find.Cms within your Solution
Install-Package EPiServer.Find.CmsConfigure Search & Navigation on your website
In your Startup.cs class add Search & Navigation in the ConfigureServices method
services.AddFind();In your appsettings.json add the find configuration with the values of your developer index
If you use an external Identity Provider like Azure AD like in my case, please map the admin users to the virtual roles WebAdmins and SearchAdmins to get access to the Search & Navigation dashboard
Go to the scheduled jobs in the Admin area and execute job \“EPiServer Find Content Indexing Job\“, this one should complete successfully
That should be all for a simple integration of the Search service. Further information you can find also here https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/search-navigation/
