Customer search/filtering/listing in Litium 7

Hi

We are doing an upgrade from Litium 5.6.4 to Litium 7. We have a CRM section of the site where logged in sellers can organize and edit customer related information. This section is based around a hub-page where a lot of customers (20 000+) are listed. This is how the hub-page looks like:

customerlisting
customerlisting1877×923 86.4 KB

Sellers can filter and sort on different properties. We create a QueryRequest for the customers domain and add Filters/Exclude filters/OptionalTagClauses
depending on the seller and what filters he/she clicks on. Then we display the information with ReadTags. We also use paging; the first page of 50 customers is shown when the page is loaded and more pages are fetched as you scroll down.

In Litium 7 the Lucene index has been removed for customers.How do we best and/or most easily upgrade this to Litium 7?

Will the customers area be indexed when Litium start using the Elastic Search engine? If so it might be a good idea to pause the upgrade and wait for that release?

How does Litium 7 handle this type of functionality in the Litium back office? Is there anything (like cache handling or search index) we can use for this project?

Litium version: 5.6.4 - 7.?

Litium will not add customers into elasticsearch when that will be included, but you can always add the index with the customer information by your self. Index for pages, categories and products is also configured in the solution.

Litium back office is using the data query to search for the back office views and right now it does not exist any plan to reintroduce search index for the back office views.
