What part of the UI are you in?

If you are using the new indexed search, the configuration of the search is in a XML file and therefore easy to manipulate. In weighted search, old indexed search and EcomQuery search, you cannot define which fields to search.

Hi Nicolai, this is great info! :-)

That is also a question to you guys, if you had any recomendations on what should we use. We are currently planning this.

And since as you are saying EcomQuery search we can't define which fields to search, than we are not going to use it in this project for sure. I think there is no other option here...

So - we are going with new Indexed search, where can I find that XML file? :)

Is it OK plan to - programatically change XML file (according to metadata) every night, and than run index build, so that it would be possible to search for phrase in those new fields aswell?

Hi Dmitrij

Yes, you should from now on always use the new indexing. It is not a problem to change the XML - as long as you do not fuck it up :-).

You can find the XML in \Files\System\Repositories\{NameOfYourRepo} folder. See how contents would look like in the attachment.

The .query files can be changed to search these new fields.

You may have to change the .index file to include your new custom field to be included (would normally happen automatically if  you use the Ecommercer Schema Extender)

Find the docs in the documentation section under downloads - there is a PDF.
