AddSearch Crawl

AddSearch Crawl keeps your ExpressionEngine search index in lockstep with every publish or update event, automatically triggering AddSearch crawls to ensure results are always fresh. Structure-aware URLs, credential validation, and detailed logging mean editors never have to touch API tooling again.

AddSearch Crawl for ExpressionEngine

AddSearch Crawl wires your ExpressionEngine 7 site directly into AddSearch’s Crawl API so every publish or update instantly triggers a re-index. Editors keep shipping content, while the addon handles Structure-aware URLs, channel scoping, credential validation, and verbose logging in the developer log. This addon is independently maintained by Multimediality and is not affiliated with AddSearch.

Highlights

• 🔄 Hands-free crawl triggers: Hooks into after_channel_entry_save to fire crawls on publish and/or update.
• 🧭 Structure-smart URLs: Prefers Structure tree paths, with channel URL fallbacks when needed.
• 🎛️ Precise control: Limit to specific channels, choose which actions trigger crawls, and enable/disable logging.
• 🔐 Secure setup: Basic Auth credentials are validated from the CP, and API keys are encrypted at rest.
• 📝 Actionable logs: Success, error, and skip reasons are recorded with entry IDs and resolved URLs.

Requirements

• ExpressionEngine 7.x
• PHP 7.4+
