Hello,

I searched through the issues tryng to find if someone already reported this, and didn't see any open issues. If I missed something, please let me know and I'll close this issue.

In the advanced search feature in 4.7 beta2, the advanced search feature does not include any freetagging categories.

If I set up multiple controlled vocabularies, they all appear in the "only in the category" dialog box. However, any category that has freetagging enabled does not show up.

Is this a bug, or a design choice?

And, if this is a design choice, would it be possible to set this up as a config option within search (at admin/settings/search): a check box for "include freetagging categories in advanced search"?

Thanks for any feedback on this.

Bill

I tested this issue and seemed to be able to reproduce it. Could be because that is "by design"

This is currently "by design" but could be improved in 4.7.x or 4.8 timeframe.

Freetagging is likely to get to a very large list. Displaying that in the advanced search UI presents a bit of a problem but it could be handled in the same ajax text box that is used to assign these in the node creation/editing now.

Thanks for the feedback on this. I assume that the reason behind this is that you can get a large number of freetag categories very quickly, and that this would not scale well on a large site.

Cheers,

Bill

Given that I opened the issue, and it's approaching its one year anniversary, and it was originally filed against a beta release, I'm marking this as closed.

Now that I'm reminded of this issue, the UI is not so complex: just use the freetagging selector that we use on node creation.

I think we should leave this as an active feature request to add one freetagging selector per vocabulary to the advanced search form.

Also, it being in the wrong version queue probably didn't help it to get attention.

Free tagging vocabs are currently enabled in Advanced search, and there is a separate issue to be able to disable them...
#42092: Provide a autocomplete selection box on advanced search

I guess this is a separate request.

In any case, it is now Drupal 8 material.

That issue link was wrong on #7, should have been #82330: Add ability to enable/disable individual vocabularies in advanced search

In any case, both of these issues are irrelevant now because there is no taxonomy searching at all in Drupal 7 at this point.
See #144043: Allow searching by fields and taxonomy
