# Get started

Each Sitecore Search implementation project is unique. Your business objectives, requirements, and searchable content might have different specifications. However, every implementation project follows the same high-level process.

This walkthrough series guides you through the first steps to get started with implementing Search. The series covers topics from exploring business needs through configuring for front-end developers to integrate your application.

By the end of this series, you'll have a fully functioning application integrated with Search, and will get inspiration to personalize experiences for your visitors.

Follow the walkthrough series in this order:

1. [Add or edit entities](https://doc.sitecore.com/search/en/users/search-user-guide/get-started/add-or-edit-entities.html "Add or edit entities")
2. [Configure your index](https://doc.sitecore.com/search/en/users/search-user-guide/get-started/configure-your-index.html "Configure your index")
3. [Create your first integration](https://doc.sitecore.com/search/en/users/search-user-guide/get-started/create-your-first-integration.html "Create your first integration")

> [!note]
> Sitecore Search is [preconfigured with experiences](https://doc.sitecore.com/search/en/users/search-user-guide/ai-driven-experiences.html "AI-driven experiences") using the entities *Content*, *Product*, *Category*, and *Store* that display on a website or application integrated with Search as soon as indexing is complete.
>
> If you added custom entities, they will also be available through the integration in all widgets.
