How can we add custom field while indexing entries?

[ankitchauhan22]

Hi,

First of All, thank you for the plugin.

This has reduced our work upto 90%. Now I want to index some custom field associated to entry. Is there a way to append or customize the schema which is being used while indexing entries? Please suggest.

Regards Ankit

Hi @ankitchauhan22

Thank you for your kind words. For now, there is no easy way to do what you want as the plugin is mainly indexing entry page content. So, the only way I can figure out right now would be to add some "hidden" text info (meta info, hidden div...) and output the content into your template so that its content can be indexed. To be able to customized the elasticsearch schema is definitely something we will implement in future release.

I'll let you know as soon as we'll be able to work on that.

Thanks.

Alright.

Now I'm using plugin elasticraft which is fuillfilling our purpose of indexing customize schema with the help of transformers.

For searching, we need to do some work around.
