Bolt Searchable Content Extension

An easy to use extension to search for Repeaters and Blocks fields content.

Configuration

We add a textarea field to the Contenttype we want its Repetears or Blocks content to be searchable in the contenttypes.yml

pages:
    name: Pages
    singular_name: Page
    fields:
        ...
        myrepeater:
            type: repeater
            fields:
                title_text:
                    type: text
                body_text:
                    type: html
                description_text:
                    type: html
        myblock:
            type: block
            label: My Blocks
            fields:
                myblocktext:
                    label: Text block
                    fields:
                        title:
                            type: text
                        description:
                            type: html
                        more_text:
                            type: html
                            height: 70px
                myblockbody:
                    label: Paragraph
                    fields:
                        heading:
                            type: text
                        content:
                            type: html
                            height: 100px
        search:
                label: Searchable content
                postfix: "<p>Extra index for the website search engine. This is automatically overwritten.</p>"
                type: textarea
                height: 300px
        ...

We add the Repeaters or Blocks fields to our extension's config file searchablecontent.twokings.yml. This needs to match the following format:

• contenttype -> field (type: repeater) -> subField

• contenttype -> field (type: block) -> blockName -> subField

  searchable:
  pages:
      myrepeater:
          - title_text
          - body_text
          - description_text
      myblock:
          myblocktext:
              - title
              - description
              - more_text
          myblockbody:
              - heading
              - content
  anothercontenttype:
      ...

  Usage

  There are two options:

  1. Making the content of a single record searchable.

  This will happen automatically after clicking the Save button when editing the content of a Record. After the Record has been saved we can refresh the edit page and we will see the content has added to the search field we added to the Contenttype.

  2. Making the content of all Records searchable.

  If we want all the Records of the Contenttypes we added to searchablecontent.twokings.yml to be searchable we need to visit the following url: yourdomain/yourboltbackendpath/extensions/searchablecontent/searchable. This will run a script that will update the search field of all the Records giving us details at the end of the performed operation.
