Using the new Advanced Search feature (core & custom fields)
ABOUT THE SEARCH VIEW:
- The new advanced search view relies on a PRECALCULATED INDEX to get its results very fast
- 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
- Declare the fields you wanted to be index searchable as "advanced searchable"
- Go to search-index Dashboad Tab, purge and click "purge" and "index" to recreate the index
- 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:
- every time a published item is saved (new or existing one)
- every time an existing item version is approved
