Developer Notes
JP Ajax Search uses a provider-based architecture. Each supported source returns a normalized result object so the frontend can render mixed results consistently.
Common result fields include:
sourcesource_grouptypetype_labelidtitleurlimagecategorymanufacturerpricefile_typefile_sizeversionevent_datelocationpriority
Internal scoring fields are hidden from normal JSON output unless Ranking debug is enabled.
DJ-Catalog2 support uses the DJ-Catalog2 product table, category table, producer / manufacturer table, and media image table where available. The provider is defensive and should avoid fatal errors if DJ-Catalog2 is not installed or if optional columns are missing.
