Textpattern Internal Search Index

Am I missing something or does the Textpattern not include “keywords” associated with each article in the internal search index? Anyone know how to make it do so?

Re: Textpattern Internal Search Index

Search includes only the title and body of articles. To include other stuff, you’d have to modify the relevant query in /textpattern/publish.php and create a new index (or change the existing one) for the textpattern table, so it includes all three instead of just body+title.

You can make TXP search custom fields with the help of these instructions (there’s an English translation below). I think exchanging custom_1 for Keywords should do th etrick.

Re: Textpattern Internal Search Index

any chance this can become pluggable or extensible so we can have plugins and not require edits to the core?

No, because if we at some point want to be able to have unlimited custom fields or categories, those will be stored in a separate table, which would require a totally different method of searching if you’d want to include them in the search.

Ah, so that’s in the pipe then…that “unlimited” bit. :)
