Hi, I've some suggestions to improve the search-feature:
-) Search by "First letters"
e.g. I've 15.000 users and want to show all users whose lastname or login starts with an "A" or "An" etc. in a template. (Extended: find users whose lastname starts with "Aa" or "Ab" or "Ac" etc.) -) Sort order by section-id of the result (e.g. if more than one site is installed I can sort the search result by the section id and output in the template someting like: Search result for Site 1 / Site 2 and so on) -) Search priority: If you use the datatype ezkeyword in a content class and a keyword is found in that attribute, the result should get a higher ranking. -) Search priority, 2nd: If a keyword is found in the name of an object, it should get a higher ranking.
The high-end feature: Extend the content-class, each added datatype can get an user defined "search ranking".
Example:
content class "small article":
field "title" - search ranking 5
field "keywords" - search ranking 4
field "intro" - search ranking 3
field "body" - search ranking 1 (Higher numbers - higher rankings) -) Search in more than one content class at once (inlcude/exclude content class ids as in the fetch"-function). (e.g. I've 4 different article-classes and I want to do one search in all of the 4 article-classes) -) Small search result: e.g. in some cases you need only the object ids or the main node ids or data_map and not the filled objects (with children, subtree and so on) - could prevent "overload".
Kind regards,
Emil.
Best wishes,
Georg.
