How to search in repeater ?

[PubliAlex]

Hello,

I wonder if the search plugin support search in a repeater field, for example, when you use a repeater with different groups to handle different kind of content.

If yes, what do you have to put in your yaml file of tailor to search in that fields ?

Thank you

Alex

We currently use a like query to search in specific fields:
https://github.com/OFFLINE-GmbH/oc-site-search-plugin/blob/develop/classes/providers/TailorResultsProvider.php#L56

If the field is a repeater that contains json data that matches the query, it should show up in the results. It will show you any records that have matching data and completely ignore the repater groups.

To get the search for specific repeater groups working, we would have to add some SQL JSON functions.

Ok thank you for your answer @tobias-kuendig. I think the default behavior to look for the whole big string that a jsonable create in database is OK.

As an improvement in the future, maybe it would be cool to search directly in some internal value of that json like this :

searchFields:
- title
- description
- repeater[key1]
- repeater[key2]

etc...
