Joomla 4 Has a New Default Search Extension
- Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge
- Published: 08 September 2021 08 September 2021
Joomla 4 is now available and it bring some exciting changes for Joomla users.
One important change is that there is now a new default search extension. The old com_search has been replaced by com_finder.
This isn't an entirely new extension because com_finder was available in Joomla 3: it was called "Smart Search". So for several years, Joomla has had two search extensions in the core. This did not make much sense, and so it's good to remove one of them. The old com_search will join other retired extensions, such as Weblinks, as an optional Joomla download.
