| 28 | |||
| |
1.3 | 29 | 1. ##title## - the text to display for your implementation in the search engine select |
| 30 | 1. ##admin## - a reference to the wiki page where you administrate your search implementation (ex: 'XWiki.SolrSearchAdmin') | ||
| 31 | 1. ##search## - a reference to the search page that should be used when your search implementation is active (ex: 'Main.SolrSearch') | ||
