How to add several models of a plugin to search?

[impactfactory]

I have Blog, with the Models Post, Tag and Category. There is post detail page (succesfully included into the search) and some posts list for articles with a tag and articles in a category.

I would like to let the search list where this tag and category overview pages are.

I did not succeed with repeating the Event Listener and fill in just another model; i guess this needs another approach.

Any tip? :)

Thanx a lot for any help!

What went wrong? It is all you need. Maybe share some code so we see where you got stuck.

Example for a Tag model: (change the YourTagModel and your-tag-detal-page values)

\Event::listen('offline.sitesearch.query', function ($query) {
        $controller = \Cms\Classes\Controller::getController() ?? new \Cms\Classes\Controller();

        // Search your plugin's contents
        $items = YourTagModel
            ::where('name', 'like', "%${query}%")
            ->get();

        $results = $items->map(function ($item) use ($query, $controller) {
            return [
                'title'     => $item->name,
                'text'      => 'A tag description'
                'url'       => $controller->pageUrl('your-tag-detail-page', ['slug' => $item->slug]),
            ];
        });

        return [
            'provider' => 'Tags',
            'results'  => $results,
        ];
    });

I found the error, some minor misspelling. Works like a charm, thank you so much!

So for full clarity for other like me, we just have to repeat the Event Listener for every Model you want a search query for. In case of little blog system it would look like this then.

\Event::listen('offline.sitesearch.query',` function ($query) {.. Plugin Model Post ..}

\Event::listen('offline.sitesearch.query', function ($query) {.. Plugin Model Tag ..}

\Event::listen('offline.sitesearch.query', function ($query) {.. Plugin Model Category ..}

Multilanguage urls and provider buttons can be achieved like this:

'url'       => e(trans('autorname.pluginname::lang.something')).'/'.$item->slug,
 'provider' => e(trans(autorname.pluginname::lang.something')),
