# E-Commerce Search Engine SaaS - Implementation Summary
  
  ## Overview
  
  A complete, production-ready configurable search engine for cross-border e-commerce has been implemented. The system supports multi-tenant configurations, multi-language processing, semantic search with embeddings, and flexible ranking.
  
  ## What Was Built
  
  ### 1. Core Configuration System (config/)
  
  **field_types.py** - Defines all supported field types and ES mappings:
  - TEXT, KEYWORD, TEXT_EMBEDDING, IMAGE_EMBEDDING
  - Numeric types (INT, LONG, FLOAT, DOUBLE)
  - Date and Boolean types
  - Analyzer definitions (Chinese, English, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Japanese)
  - ES mapping generation for each field type
  
  **config_loader.py** - YAML configuration loader and validator:
  - Loads customer-specific configurations
  - Validates field references and dependencies
  - Supports application + index structure definitions
  - Customer-specific query, ranking, and SPU settings
  
  **customer1_config.yaml** - Complete example configuration:
  - 16 fields including text, embeddings, keywords, metadata
  - 4 query domains (default, title, category, brand)
