All descriptive metadata should be included in keyword search #1925

Closed newmanld closed 6 years ago

newmanld commented 6 years ago

Descriptive summary

The description field is not indexed in the keyword search. I have verified this for the Media and Generic works work types - it may or may not be the case with all work types. (Field may be called abstract on some work types.)

It appears that the abstract/description field is being indexed in the keyword search for Collections.

Expected behavior

All descriptive fields on works and collections show pages should be indexed in the keyword search.

Actual behavior

Some fields are not indexed.

We should check that description is not the only omitted field, and create a test and/or write this up as a local override.

Note: this may be because we are using alt_description instead of description. It's possible that alt_description is not being indexed.

After a fix is made in the code, we may need to do a full Solr reindex on production to make the alt_description field searchable on existing content.
