[opencms-dev] Configuring which xmlcontent fields to search

[Andreas Zahner]

Hi Paul,

another option is to use the <xsd:appinfo> section to exclude specific 
XML content elements, available since version 7.0.2:

<xsd:annotation>
   <xsd:appinfo>
     ...
     <searchsettings>
       <searchsetting element="${ELEMENTNAME}" searchcontent="false" />
       ...
     </searchsettings>
     ...

Just try it for your content.

Andreas.

(I have several xmlcontent resource types that would need this kind of handling.) I can't help but think that it would be easier to tell the xmlcontent's content extractor not to extract certain element values?
