1 year ago Hi @mastercoms ,
yes, the fields search option should work with query expression trees too:
const ms = new MiniSearch({ fields: ['title', 'author', 'text'] })
let docs = [
{ id: 1, title: 'Let It Be', author: 'The Beatles', text: 'When I find myself in times of...' },
{ id: 2, title: 'Do I Wanna Know?', author: 'Arctic Monkeys', text: 'Have you got color in...' },
{ id: 3, title: 'The Times are A-Changing', author: 'Bob Dylan', text: 'Come gather round people...' },
{ id: 4, title: 'One Love (People get Ready)', author: 'Bob Marley', text: 'One love, one heart...' },
]
ms.addAll(docs)
// Simple example, "people" is in the text of document 3 and in the title of document 4,
// but we restrict the search to the title field:
ms.search({ fields: ['title'], queries: ['people'] })
// => [{ id: 4, ...}]
// The query above is identical to:
ms.search('people', { fields: ['title'] })
// More interesting example with deeper query expression tree:
ms.search({
queries: [
{ fields: ['title'], queries: ['times'] },
{ fields: ['author'], queries: ['arctic'] }
]
})
// => [{ id: 2, ... }, { id: 3, ... }]
// Another example, where both subqueries have results, but no document satisfies both,
// so combining with AND yields no result:
ms.search({
queries: [
{ fields: ['title'], queries: ['people'] },
{ fields: ['text'], queries: ['people'] }
],
combineWith: 'AND'
})
// => []
// Contrast it with the following query, which instead yields two results:
ms.search('people', { fields: ['title', 'text'], combineWith: 'AND' })
// => [{ id: 3, ... }, { id: 4, ... }]Do you have a specific example where this does not work? If you can provide an example to reproduce the problem I will look into it.

I was wondering because it doesn't seem like it's working for me. I'm trying to implement search syntax within specific fields for the user. Wanted to isolate the problem.
