ABOUT THE SEARCH VIEW:
  1. The new advanced search view relies on a PRECALCULATED INDEX to get its results very fast
  2. It supports searching various fields besides title and description,
    now these are supported: tags, text, textarea, select, selectmultiple,
    more will be added later, so this list may not be up-to-date,
    e.g. we could make image field "advanced searchable" by making it declare its description as the searchable text
HOW-TO USE:
  1. Declare the fields you wanted to be index searchable as "advanced searchable"
  2. Go to search-index Dashboad Tab, purge and click "purge" and "index" to recreate the index
  3. Create a menu item to link to the (advnaced) search view and configure in this menu item the appearance/behavior of the search view

NOTE: if you enable "advanced searchable" for more fields, you will need to recreate the index
NOTE: after initial creation, the indexed is updated automatically:

  1. every time a published item is saved (new or existing one)
  2. every time an existing item version is approved
