[opencms-dev] How can I index my custom-properties?

[Olli Aro]

Hi Alex and all,

I am finally at the stage that I am porting our version 5 functionality to
version 6 and the intention is still to contribute back as much of it as
possible either to the core or as modules :)

As part of this I will port our search tool across, which has features such
as:-

- External indexer for federated search
- Metadata mapping
- Enchanged search query interface, allowing filtering based on URL
patterns, content types and metadata.

Most of the above can go to a module, but I will look into implementing the
indexing part as the core changes you described and keep you updated on my
progress.

Regards,

Olli

I can imagine extending the core in a way that there is a defined set of
properies that gets indexed by Lucene in special index fields. This would be
configurable in the opencms-search.xml (plus the search GUI available in
6.2). Obviously, it would mean a list of property names mapped to lucene
field names in some sort of XML.

The mapping could be globale, per-Index or per-Content-Type. This is to be
decided later.

Since fields in XML content can be easily mapped to special properties, this
would also solve the "how can I make fields in my XML content searchable"
issue that is also requested quite often.

This should not be overly difficulet to implement since currently there is a
"hardcoded" indexing behaviour for the "Title", "Keyword" and "Description"
property that should should be quite easy to generalize.

What I can say is that we at Alkacon do have no current plans to implement
such a feature. Any contribution on this would therefore be very welcome.

Kind Regards,
Alex.
